"Thinking about the ethical issues of care" 

Julie Agnaou, a nurse, wishes to explore in greater depth the issues of caregiving identity.

"The uniqueness of my school career, marked by the humanities, the social sciences and the medical and paramedical sciences, led me to the meeting point of all these disciplines: the ethics of care. Echoing my background, the alliance between medical sciences and human sciences has always been a key element in my thinking and in the construction of my identity as a carer.

The legislative, ethical, deontological, sociological and anthropological contributions have consolidated my holistic vision of care as a nurse. Pursuing my studies in biomedical humanities was an obvious choice in order to acquire the historical, methodological and epistemological bases of the triptych medicine-philosophy-law and to better grasp the ethical and philosophical questions relating to the biomedical field encountered in the field.

The questions of the identity of the carer, the ethical and reflexive posture of the carer and the care relationship in the face of Otherness are themes that particularly appeal to me, especially when they are applied to the prison environment and to mental health".
 

"To study the ethical issues related to medical knowledge"

Robin Guémili, in his third year of internship, questions the ethical issues.

"In parallel to my medical studies, I had the opportunity to enrich my education with different degrees (Master 1 in biology, Master 1 in public health and statistics, DU in artificial intelligence applied to health).

My interest in philosophy began as curiosity about the history of the evolution of scientific thought and method before becoming a questioning of the foundations of knowledge, more particularly medical knowledge, its limits and its ethical issues. 

Furthermore, there was a great focus on the ethical and deontological issues that emerged during the COVID 19 crisis. 

More broadly, it is the deontological issues related to climate change and the upcoming energy crisis that I would like to explore through this Master of Philosophy. "

“Questioning the impact of public policy on the practice of medicine"

Enola Tissandié, a student in Biomedical Humanities, wants to study the links between public policy and medical practice.

"After a scientific baccalaureate, I decided to study philosophy because I needed to question the objects I had studied until now before I could put them into practice. I could not see myself practising science or medicine without questioning their teachings and practices.

I therefore chose to do a double degree in philosophy and political science, at the University of Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, simply because I could not understand the complexity and contradiction intrinsic to politics. 

These three years were very instructive, and I developed a strong interest in ethical and moral issues in politics. However, I did not forget my interest in medicine, which is why I also chose to do a Master's degree in biomedical humanities.

My long-term project would be to combine philosophical, ethical and sociological knowledge of public action to conduct an investigation into the consequences of public policies on the practice of medicine. "

“Doing applied philosophy"

Clémentine Dangeron, a student in the Master's programme Biomedical Humanities, wishes to pursue a research project in philosophy of medicine.

"I chose to study in the Biomedical Humanities Master's programme after a literary preparatory course at the Lycée Condorcet and a degree in philosophy at the University of Paris Sorbonne (now Sorbonne University).

I have always been attracted by the issues specific to the world of medicine, but also of bioethics, and I wanted to do philosophy applied to reality.

So doing research in philosophy of medicine was perfect for me. I am particularly interested in the place of women in the world of medicine and the specific discrimination and problems they face, especially in relation to disability. I would therefore like to carry out a research project in philosophy of medicine, with two major axes: feminism and disability, also during my master's degree or a possible thesis. The relationship between women and psychiatry, but also the issues of anti-psychiatry are also subjects I intend to explore in my research.

I also have an activist commitment close to these interests, as a volunteer in an association fighting for the rights of women with disabilities, Les Dévalideuses, and this commitment has also made me discover the importance of conducting research on these subjects. "
