International Health Humanities Network Membership

My research is a fusion of language, drawing and installation. It results in conversations, writings, workshops and collaborations. With my research and teaching, I aim to foster humanization and care. I also provoke different ways of thinking about how we explore questions that touch on the liminal nature and complexities of our lived experiences. Originally trained as a responsive evaluator and qualitative researcher and the philosophical hermeneutical tradition, currently my work is about the intersection of care, aesthetics and ethics. 

I work as the Director Medical Humanities, Health & Society at Drew University, Madison New Jersey, U.S.A. In addition, I am an Associate professor of Care Ethics, University for Humanistic Studies in The Netherlands (one day a week).
