Brief Description of Work: Social Aesthetics is a field of interest which is closely related to every day aesthetics or ecologic aesthetics. The main interest is the investigation of aesthetic perspectives, properties, attitudes and experiences in medical settings (e.g. atmospheres, hospitality, etc.). It focuses not so much on the “Whats” but mainly on the “Hows” in clinical diagnostics and treatment.
