Racism in Germany - Racial discrimination and mental health
For my B.A. thesis I cooperated with psychologist M. Sc. T. Q.-N. Tran: I designed, layouted and illustrated her paper „Rassismus in Deutschland – der Zusammenhang zwischen wahrgenommenem Rassismus, Attribution, Intersektionalität und psychischer Gesundheit“. Furthermore, I revised the concept: The book connects specialized, scientific text, quotes from personal interviews, and images. The academic, factual side ensures credibility/reliability, while the emotional reports and illustrations demonstrate common situations and evoke empathy.
The topic requires sensitivity and handling that rises beyond the superficial. Hence finding a fitting visual language which represents these values for both the layout and illustrations was a challenge for me.
