Project title: Healthcare as a Public Space: Social Integration and Social Diversity in the Context of Access to Healthcare in Europe
Principal investigator: prof. Paweł Łuków

Project period: 1.05.2019-30.04.2022 (36 months)
Project number: 2018/28/Z/HS1/00554
Project objective: Within the scope of the project, the research will focus on the concept of diversity that includes aspects of ethnicity, religion, gender, and sexual orientation both in the general social context of healthcare viewed as a public space, as well as in the specific context of medical institutions conceptualized as public locations. Within this context, the aim of this project is to generate systematic and in-depth knowledge about how and to what degree the European norms and guidelines concerning diversity are implemented in national legal regulations in Germany, Slovenia, Croatia and Poland and how they are realized in clinical practice in these countries. The project is to be humanities-led and study the ethical, cultural, and normative aspects of integration and exclusion within the healthcare sector.
