Elli Marie Tragel has BA and MA degrees in semiotics and is currently completing her Ph.D.(by 2025) at the Department of Semiotics of University of Tartu, Estonia. She is also working as a research funding coordinator at the Estonian Research Council. Her doctoral research is focused on transformations of human semiosis, and possible exemption from meaning-making, in which altered ways of relating to the world arise. Thus, she is investigating "desemiosis" on the example of meaning-making in Buddhist Chan meditation. Additionally, she wishes to develop and implement critical first-person investigation methods in scientific research and education, and to better understand how ways of knowing could contribute to global happiness and virtue.
