Teaching

Over the past years, I have taught a broad range of seminars and lectures at B.A. and M.A. level, mainly at Augsburg University (Social Sciences), and at the University of Luxembourg (European Governance, European Contemporary History, and Cultures Européennes – Histoire). In addition, I have participated in teaching exchanges and invited guest lectureships to the University of Gothenburg, the Technical University of Chemnitz, the University of Tübingen and the University of Kassel. I have furthermore co-supervised more than a dozen B.A. and M.A. theses in the areas of comparative politics, European studies and European history.

Teaching philosophy & training

My courses combine theoretical understanding with practical research skills and transferable competences, tailored to each student group’s needs and academic level. I particularly value creating inclusive and supportive learning environments where students from all backgrounds can thrive, develop their own research skills and engage with current scholarship, while fostering critical thinking and knowledge transfer skills. Seeking to continuously improve my teaching and learning abilities, I regularly participate in training on various topics including:

• Barrier-free and inclusive university teaching and learning,
• Integrating movement into teaching and learning strategies and building a healthy class environment,
• Technical, legal and ethical chances and challenges of teaching and learning with AI tools,
• Virtual teaching, communication and collaboration strategies,
• Development and usage of digital teaching materials,
• Interdisciplinary teaching.

Finding that the mere (re)production of knowledge within academia should not be an end in itself, I have furthermore been keen to communicate my findings as well as open questions of my research to different broader public fora: through press articles and interviews, blog posts, participation as speaker in public events, and the organization of events and workshops beyond university, especially for young people from different national and educational backgrounds across Europe.

You can find a list of the topics which I have taught in university courses here. Moreover, you can access a selection of syllabi for courses I designed and taught here.

And here’s a list of workshops I have co- and organised.
