Agathe CAMUS

My fields of research, from my thesis to the present day, are those of chronicity, multimorbidity and disability, which I approach in a cross-disciplinary manner. In particular, I question the categories of health, autonomy and "normal life" - both in their philosophical sense and in their ordinary or still medical uses - in the light of situations of multimorbidity, polypathology, or geriatric frailty, pediatric post-cancer as a "chronic condition" or chronic illness and the situations of visible or invisible disability associated with it.

My research, because it questions the chronic experience of living with an illness or disability, leads me to address themes linked to the end of life and more broadly to the end of life.

Currently, I am working more specifically on the experience of people with kidney failure on dialysis and/or awaiting transplant.
