Faculty of Protestant Theology
The blending of dedicated teaching, fearless research, ecumenical collaboration, and, of course the joie de vivre of the Rhineland, makes the Bonn Protestant Theology Faculty what it is: an exceptional and inviting bastion of theological scholarship.
In March 2023, Eva Maria Hille spent a research stay at the University of Oslo. Together with her hosts Dr Jenny Krutzinna and Prof. Dr Elisabeth Staksrud from the research group "Children, Youth and Media", she wrote a short commentary entitled "Understanding one's own illness - How the use of contactless sensors in healthcare could influence children", which you can read below.
