- Wellcome Trust Research Fellow, University of Oxford
Ruth Horn is an Ethics and Society Wellcome Trust Fellow carrying out a comparative research on advance directives in England, France, and Germany. She has studied Sociology in Germany (BA, University Ludwig-Maximilian, Munich) and France (MA, University Paris Diderot; MA Res and PhD, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris).
Her general research interest lies in exploring ethical questions raised by medical practices. She has a particular interest in understanding in which context (legal, cultural, socio-historical) these questions emerge in the public space, how they are treated in the debate of a specific country (UK, France, Germany) and what are the concrete practices these debates refer to.
