She studied Catholic theology (diploma) and a second degree in German , theology and philosophy (state examination) at the Catholic theological faculty in Tübingen .

Research priorities

Her research interests lie in the areas of fundamental ethics , ethics and literature , biomedical ethics and gender studies . Hille Haker pays particular attention to the demarcation that has become firmly established in (theological) ethics, namely between normative-political ethics and an ethics of conduct. In her work she repeatedly shows the permeability of these boundaries - for example in specific research fields such as identity and recognition theories, but also in bioethics . Especially with a view to the various discourses of application of ethics, she tries to critically reflect on the fundamental questions of normativity , the effectiveness and change of social norms as a background for the concretization of social ethical principles in different fields of practice as well as questions of individual judgment. Your research approach is always transdisciplinary or interdisciplinary . In her habilitation thesis , Hille Haker developed a model of political and individual ethical judgment in the field of reproductive medicine , but especially with a view to the issues of genetic diagnostics at the beginning of human life. In recent years, she has expanded her research to include “Gender Studies and Ethics in Science”. In Frankfurt she also set up the new focus on “Ethics in Clinical Pastoral Care”.
