Dr. Monique Ritter talks to Merve and Andrea in the podcast MeltingPod on June 15 about the motivation and background of her doctoral topic, gives insights into the research work by traveling around the qualitative research in the home care sector for the elderly, which she conducted in Dresden from 2018-2020, and presents points of analysis and results of the work.
