writing (academic publications)

From 2016-2021 Stefanie was a part-time research associate for the PathoGraphics project at the Freie University in Berlin. Her research was in large part practise-based (writing and drawing), with a particular focus on visual communications and narrative within the field of medicine and patient information and experience. (click images below for writing samples [pdf format])

In 2018 she was accepted as a PhD candidate in Media Studies at the University of Cologne but decided after a year to discontinue the program due to the limitations on practise-based work imposed by theoretical research mandates there. She remained with the PathoGraphics project however for the (maximal) duration of two funding periods until March 2021.
