Community involvement
Between 2016 and 2018, I was the president of the philosophy PhD student’s association in Sorbonne Université, named “Philo’Doctes.”
We organise weekly graduate seminars, where PhD students present their work in a conference-like setting, and a biennale conference.
Conference organising
I have organised several workshops and conferences thorough my PhD. In 2018, as part of my tasks as Research Fellow, I co-organised three workshops, “Medical collections & illnesses” (2017, October), “Art, beauty and anatomic pathology” (2018, January) and “Collecting human remains: ethical and legal implications” (2018, March).
I also co-organised the final workshop of the project, “Who’s afraid of medical humanities ?” held the 18th of June (2018).
An exhibition and a publication are planned for 2018, of which I will be co-editor and co-organisator.
During the project, I also managed the project research blog (ISSN 2609-7311) and various administrative duties, notably managing our financial budget and dealing with the national and international travels the team has made.
Honours & Awards
I secured a fully funded three-year PhD position in Université Paris-Sorbonne (2014).
I was offered a fully funded PhD fellowship from the University of Kent at Canterbury (2014), which I eventually did not take up.
Outreach & popularizing work
I share my work on Twitter and YouTube and exchange with journalists on various topic related to my discipline (@FerryDanini). I gave a number of interviews in the French media about epistemological and ethical issues related to medicine.
I have helped mainstream YouTube video makers working to popularizing science, history of science and philosophy of science by providing feedbacks and network.
I have written a popularizing paper about the concept of pain for the French peer reviewed online encyclopedia of philosophy: http://encyclo-philo.fr/douleur-gp/
