Lena Stange M.Sc.

Lena Stange studied cultural studies and French romance philology (B.A.) in Bremen and Avignon (France), and Public Health (M.Sc.) in Oldenburg. From 2012 to 2019, she was a research assistant at the Jade University of Applied Sciences in the section technology and health. Since April 2019, she is a research assistant in the Medical Ethics division at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg.
Being a culture and health scientist, her research interest is located in the field of cultural and social understandings of health and illness, especially pertaining to individual conceptions of ageing, dying and death, as well as concepts of time and temporality and the good life (in a teleological point of view). Furthermore, she is also engaged in ethics counselling, work-related mental health and health policy. Her PhD project is about teleological aspects of life conceptions and advance directives.
Lena Stange is a member of the DFG-research group Medicine, Time and the Good Life (FOR 5022), where she works on the sub-project 7: “Between resignation and optimization – The time structure of the good life in the context of geriatric medicine”.
