My BA project dealt with the complex nature of schizophrenia as a disorder and why it is so difficult to communicate to non-schizophrenic individuals. I discussed how some artists have had success in communicating their worsening condition through art. E.g., the paintings of Louis Wain (1860-1939) lost dimensions of depth and physicality, resulting in a sort of "morbid geometrism", which is sometimes found in chronic forms of schizophrenic psychosis.As a final point in this project, I… Show more My BA project dealt with the complex nature of schizophrenia as a disorder and why it is so difficult to communicate to non-schizophrenic individuals.

At the time, I referenced Team Ninja's game "Senua's Sacrifice", which raises awareness of psychosis by representing the experience of mental illness as authentically as possible. Show less

      Master's degree philosophy 12 (11,14 overall average)

      Activities and Societies: Science in Society, Ethics and Society, Research Subject Contemporary Philosophy, Phenomenology and Philosophy of Mind, Creative Writing Workshop, and my MA Thesis: "Schizophrenia as a Self-Disorder: Contrasting Western and Japanese Approaches". My thesis was a phenomenologically informed psychopathological treatment of schizophrenia as a self-disorder. Specifically, I presented how schizophrenia in the West is often approached as a self-disorder, i.e. that the generative disturbance is a disordering of a basic kind of self, which generates accessory symptoms such as hearing voices, thought disordering, disembodiment, etc. I then presented the Japanese approach to schizophrenia, which is to characterise it as a disordering of the… Show more My thesis was a phenomenologically informed psychopathological treatment of schizophrenia as a self-disorder.

Following this, I discussed how the two approaches could complement each other.Discussing and presenting schizophrenia as a self-disorder was probably the easiest part of the project, since I was already familiar with the subject. However, establishing the Japanese concept proved a challenge, due to language barriers and differences in cultural differences in approaching mental disorders. Show less

      Exchange student japanese language and literature

      Activities and Societies: Japanese A, Japanese studies I, Reading literature theoretically, and general cultural excursions. At Chuo University, I built on the language foundation I had established at the University of Copenhagen, furthering my knowledge of Kanji, developing my Japanese to a conversational level, and generally had a fantastic time!I organised the exchange myself, looking up universities, applying for scholarships, making sure I had a place to live, financing the trip, etc.

      Exchange student

      When I started at the University of Copenhagen, I initially majored in Japanese studies (I specifically did "Propaedeutics"), mainly focusing on language, culture, and history. As a part of this study, I self-organized a 6-month exchange to Chuo University in Tokyo. Specifically, I learned a lot of the basics in Copenhagen (Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji, grammar, and speaking practice), and then applied this at Chuo University, further developing my speech to the conversational level (which turned out to be quite imperative, since only 1/4 of my teachers actually spoke English).

      Undergraduate student

      Here, I was introduced to fundamental areas of philosophy, e.g. phenomenology, ethics, philosophy of science, metaphysics, etc.My BA project revolved around the issue of communicating the lived experience of suffering from schizophrenia. Essentially, schizophrenia is a complex disorder which can manifest in nummerous different and seemingly incoherent symptoms. This can make it hard to both understand and relate to the disorder. As an alternative, my project revolved around accurate presentation of the schizophrenic experience in various mediums, e.g. through painting, writing, video-games, VR experiences, etc. all with the purpose of generating understanding and empathy.

      Graduate

      I finished my master's degree in philosophy (specialising in phenomenology and philosophy of consciousness) with a 12 for my thesis, along with an 11,14 average grade for the entirety of my education.My thesis "Schizophrenia as a Self-Disorder: Contrasting Western and Japanese Approaches" discussed how the abstract, intangible, and consequently, sometimes fragile, definitions of schizophrenia can be unified across barriers of language and culture. The conclusion I arrived at was, that in both Western and Japanese approahces, schizophrenia can - from the perspective of phenomenological psychopathology - be described as a self-disorder that manifests in the patient's experiences of themselves. However, the main difference was, that the Japanese perspective has a much more distinct emphasis on the social aspects of the disorder, i.e. how the disorder manifests in other's experience of me and how I experience myself when I am with others. While doing my MA in philosophy, I also wrote an English "philosophical fantasy" novel. I did it for 2 reasons: 1) I love writing and I love fiction writing in general (especially fantasy and sci-fi - "The Hobbit" is my favourite novel). 2) I genuinely love contributing to academia and reading academia... however, it can also be very exclusionary and somewhat elitist. Therefore, inspired by philosophers like Sartre, Camus, and Nietzsche, I decided to try to convey my philosophical ideas through something a bit more engaging and accessible. For this book in particular, I focus on more existential ideas, e.g. finding purpose in life, navigating religion, becoming your own person, etc.As such, I like to think that I have two thesis projects: An academic treatment of schizophrenia as a self-disorder and a fantasy treatment of existentialism and what it means to find meaning in life.
