Mariël Kanne
Mariël Kanne studied theology and philosophy and began her career as a lecturer in ethics for the HU degree programme in nursing. She subsequently worked for 10 years as an organisation consultant for healthcare organisations and for the government. In 2008, she returned to the HU and in 2016 obtained her doctorate with an empirical-ethical study into moral deliberation.
In addition to her current work as a researcher, Mariël is a lecturer and supervisor for the Master Advanced Nursing Practice and for the post-HPE programme at the Institute for Nursing Studies. She is co-chair of the Ethics Research Committee. She also established a virtual department for HU ethics lecturers and a discussion 'pool' for moral deliberation.
"If you consciously look for the 'place of effort', ethical dilemmas and conflicts can suddenly become a valuable source for new insight and possible cooperation"
