Dr. Vivianne Baur

Sterk geïnspireerd door een transformatief onderzoeksparadigma laat ik wetenschappelijk werken samenkomen met een commitment om verbinding en dialoog te creëren. Na mijn studie Cultuurwetenschappen aan de Universiteit Maastricht werkte ik als onderzoeker respectievelijk bij de Universiteit Maastricht, het VU Medisch Centrum en sinds maart 2015 bij de Universiteit voor Humanistiek als universitair docent.

My research focuses on several topics that come together under the name of 'Coming back to Life', in which several care ethical concepts have a central place, such as embodiment/bodiliness, relational responsibilities, affectivity, meaning, and vulnerablity. 

Current topics are:

• The body as source of (moral) knowledge. 
• Care ethics and the global ecological and climate crisis.
