I offer courses for undergraduates and graduates in the field of International Political Economy, International Relations, and Research Design & Methods training. My teaching at the University of Bayreuth is open to students in Philosophy & Economics, Economics, History & Economics, International Economics & Development, and International Economics & Governance.
My goal is to help students develop strong theoretical and analytic skills and to evaluate arguments in light of the empirical evidence. I believe that good theory is essential for understanding political events and that sound methodological training is crucial for arriving at robust social scientific conclusions. For further details on my courses, please visit the University of Bayreuth’s CampusOnline.
I have extensive experience supervising research related to comparative and international political economy, politics, and international relations from an empirical standpoint. If you are considering a doctoral degree and would like to write a thesis in one of these areas under my supervision, you should have a strong command of empirical research methods (i.e. statistics, econometrics, causal inference etc.). Please feel free to contact me if you are interested.
