CV
Noelia Bueno Gómez (A Fonsagrada, Lugo, 1984) received her MA and her PhD in Philosophy from the University of Oviedo (Spain) with a thesis entitled "Individual Identity in the Thought of Hannah Arendt: from Political Action to Biographical Storytelling". She has developed a multi-disciplinary career, combining her studies and research in the field of theoretical and practical philosophy with one Masters in Social Studies of Science and Technology (University of Salamanca and University of Oviedo) and one Masters in Social Problems (UNED), which is currently doing. After pre-doctoral research stays at the Goethe University of Frankfurt and the Catholic University of Lovain la Neuve (Belgium), she has worked in a post-doctoral research project at the Institute of Ethnology (Slovak Academy of Sciences). She works currently with a DAAD scholarship on a reconsideration of the "hiding death" thesis, and its implications for care and attention of dying people.
