First dissertations of the cooperative doctoral programs with Fulda University of Applied Sciences

For the past four years, the University of Kassel has been running joint doctoral programs with Fulda University of Applied Sciences on the topics of "Social Human Rights", "Globalization of the Health Professions" and "Food Industry and Technology". Now the first female doctoral students have submitted dissertations within this framework.

Anna-Mara Schön has published the first dissertation in a cooperative doctoral program with Fulda University of Applied Sciences.

The general right of the University of Kassel to award doctorates enables joint doctoral colleges through which graduates of certain disciplines at the University of Fulda can also obtain a doctorate. In these colleges, professors from the participating universities from different disciplines jointly supervise the doctorate.

The first thesis now published, "Assessing the Level of Self-Reliance and Livelihood of Encamped Refugees" by Anna-Mara Schön, was supervised within the Kolleg Soziale Menschenrechte by Prof. Dr. Scherrer (University of Kassel) and Prof. Dr. Dorit Schumann (now President of Trier University of Applied Sciences, previously Professor in Fulda). The author incorporates business administration, political science and aspects from the gender literature into her analyses. One of the main results of the work is that without the granting of human rights, refugees in refugee camps can hardly secure their own livelihood. The thesis is available online through the Kassel University Library's document server: https://kobra.uni-kassel.de/handle/123456789/11843

Two other papers have now been submitted to the PhD program Globalization of the Health Professions: Ronja Buschmann investigated how migrant nurses experience outpatient care in Germany. Nathalie Hubenthal's work addresses the question of how the migration of nursing staff with professional qualifications acquired abroad is changing the nursing professions in Germany. The College on Food Economics is also about to publish its first dissertations.
