معرفی
Eva-Maria Willis is a Research Fellow at the University of Siegen's Faculty of Social Sciences, working as a research assistant to Prof. Dr. Claus Wendt. Her academic focus centers on the sociology of health and the health system, with particular expertise in nursing theory and posthuman approaches to healthcare.
Her educational background includes a doctorate from the University of Siegen (2023-), an M.Sc. from the University of Edinburgh (2018), a BA from the University of Kassel (2017), and nursing training from Frankfurt (2010). Prior to her academic career, she accumulated substantial clinical experience across multiple healthcare settings in Germany, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
Willis's research interests bridge nursing practice with posthuman theory, black queer feminist perspectives, and critical care ethics. Her work challenges traditional boundaries in healthcare through interdisciplinary approaches that examine person-centered care from marginalized perspectives and explore the ethical implications of posthumanism in nursing practice. She has developed a distinctive research trajectory examining the Vitruvian nurse concept and its relationship to professional burnout and impossible ideals in contemporary healthcare.
Her publication record demonstrates consistent scholarly output since 2017, with a notable acceleration in 2022-2023 where she has co-authored multiple articles exploring posthuman nursing, critical care ethics, and alternative approaches to person-centered care. These works appear in specialized nursing philosophy journals and reflect her commitment to challenging conventional healthcare paradigms.
While no formal scientific awards are documented in the available information, her collaborative research approach is evident through her consistent co-authorship with scholars including Smith, J.B., Hopkins-Walsh, J., and Dillard-Wright, J. across multiple publications.
Willis maintains an active research profile through her work at the University of Siegen, building upon her extensive clinical nursing background to inform her sociological and philosophical inquiries into healthcare systems and practices.
