This will be a comparative empirical/practical philosophical project of 4 years’ duration focusing on Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia) and the Netherlands. 4/5

Then we would encourage you to apply for this PhD position, wherein you will have the opportunity to explore the existential effects of Long Covid through the prism of multi-levelled ‘deadliness’, particularly ‘living death’, social death and suicide ideation. 3/5

Are you a passionate PhD candidate in practical philosophy, interested in the phenomenology of health & illness, the philosophy of death and/or patient participation and social justice? Are you interested in examining the deep existential impacts of Long Covid on patients? 2/5

Man gewöhnt sich daran, es aufzunehmen 😉 Gestern wurde auch eine Vorlesung für Studenten aufgenommen. Ist wirklich nicht so spannend wie es scheint. 😉🫂

Yes i think so. 🙂

bsky.app/profile/buec... here is also a better view. 😉

I totally understand, but in my opinion (and no i don't get commission or anything 🤣), it is sooooo worth it. This is the golden series cover by Rackmask, but a limited edition of that, which was handmade. I am so happy with it, and will reuse this as my conference or "formal events" mask.

I always wear @zhouliangmask.bsky.social and @rackmask.bsky.social i really find they are the best. In terms of comfort, fit and also design.

Möchte nur noch dazu sagen: ich und meine Familie tragen immer und überall Maske, und in meinen Vorträgen betone ich immer die Wichtigkeit der Prävention durch Maske und saubere Luft. So auch hier...

And then Sigga Weland presented her qualitative work on MECFS patients in Denmark, relaying the profound existential impact of not being believed and being psychologised.

Then Ronja Büchner relayed how their quantative data showed that the experience of psychologisation was no only prominent in Long Covid and Post Vac patients - but also detrimental to their (already fragile) health and decreased their trust in medics.

The second on the historical foundations of this psychologisation by Dr Paula Muhr, where she explained how illnesses regarded as "unexplained" became increasingly psychologised through its relation to hysteria.
