In her dissertation project at Bielefeld 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 in the interdisciplinary research training group "FlüGe - Challenges and Opportunities of Global Refugee Migration for Health Care in Germany", in which she also worked as a research assistant from 2016 - 2021, she addresses problems of the restricted health care for refugees under the Asylum Seekers' Benefits Act from a philosophical-ethical perspective.
The starting point of her work is the life situation of refugees.
