Teaching

Over the past years, I teach and have taught lectures and seminars at various universities in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, such as at the University of Vienna, at Technische Universität Darmstadt, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, University of Lucerne, University of Fribourg, and University of Zurich.

 

I have continuously developed my teaching practice-drawing on both my experience as a lecturer and my participation in various pedagogical trainings and workshops. I am deeply committed to creating an atmosphere of trust, respect, and inclusivity and I would describe my teaching style as student-oriented and participatory. I believe that a supportive classroom environment is a necessary foundation for meaningful learning, and that an open classroom culture enables deeper engagement among the participants.

 

 

My previous teaching has included courses on:

 

• Contemporary EU Integration: Challenges and Prospects in Eastern Europe

• Political Sociology of Dictatorship and Democracy

• Introduction to Methods in Political Science

• Illiberal Regimes – A structuralist perspective

• Cleavages in Eastern Europe – An introduction
