After completing a dual bachelor's degree in business informatics with practical components at a banking service provider, I began a dual degree in nursing. After two years of studying nursing, I completed a master's degree in public health. Following this master's degree, I was lucky enough to be able to combine my theoretical and practical knowledge of healthcare and technology development in a research project at the University of Osnabrück. Through my work at the university and on the research project, which sparked my interest in further research, I began my doctorate in 2016. Since I wanted to work with reconstructive methodologies and methods, I completed the doctoral program Qualitative Educational and Social Research at Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg in 2017-2020. The program and very good and appreciative supervision from Claude Draude and Rosa Mazzola meant that I was able to successfully complete my doctorate in 2022 at the University of Kassel in the Faculty of Social Sciences.
As a scientist with interdisciplinary training, I am particularly interested in the interplay between care work and technology as well as qualitative research methods. In my dissertation, I show the potential of agentive realism in the context of care. From this feminist perspective, a decentering of human actors and a consideration of power distributions can be conceived. The initial ideas for this work emerged in a research project on the use of augmented reality in service professions. During the considerations in the project, I realized again and again how much the mutual actors produce each other. I was happy to find a perspective in augmented reality that I could use to depict these interdependencies. Using video recordings with an adapted version of objective hermeneutics, I succeeded in depicting a "care phenomenon" and a "type of patient" with the respective actor boundaries and the fabrications of humanity and individuality. My work is rounded off with initial implications for practice.
I believe that agential realism is a concept that can be taken further within the framework of care science. As much as I would like to look further in this direction and look at other areas of care work in addition to nursing, I am happy when other researchers continue to think and develop this perspective.
