ZfphL journal

I co-edit the Zeitschrift für philosophische Literatur, an open-access, peer-reviewed online journal that specialises in short reviews of recently published books.


 Teaching

 

I have taught/am teaching on analytical legal philosophy, John Rawls, and constitutional history and theory.


 Translations

 

I have translated Lon Fuller's "Legal Positivism and the Fidelity to Law" and Les Green's "Positivism and the Inseparability of Law and Morals" for a volume with Suhrkamp (“Analytische Rechtsphilosophie”), edited by Felix Koch, Amir Mohseni, and David Schweikart. The volume came out in September 2019.


 The Philosophy of Social Democracy

Together with a group of social democratic friends we have started to organise discussion rounds on the philosophy of social democracy. At these events, philosophers and politicians discussed leftism (Lisa Herzog and Lars Klingbeil), utopias (Stefan Gosepath and Kevin Kühnert), and justice for future generations (Kirsten Meyer and Delara Burkhardt). We also organised a public discussion of moral values in politics with Christoph Möllers, Rahel Jaeggi and Ralf Stegner. In July 2017 we had a roundtable discussion at Progressives Zentrum about the government's current measures to fight the causes of flight, and whether political philosophy can be of any help in evaluating these measures. We’re also planning a podcast on related themes.


 KIRON Higher Education

KIRON is a social start-up that provides access to higher education to refugees. They have created a number of study courses using a mix of MOOCs (like Saylor) and tutorials  that lets students who haven't received their immigration status collect credit points towards a degree. Once their immigration status is clear, they can then enrol in one of KIRON's partner universities to finish their degree - the credit points they already earned with KIRON will count towards their course of study. I think this is a great idea and I've been volunteering for them since 2016. I am responsible for the mandatory tutorials in political science, and I am using google classroom to teach political science and political theory to KIRON students all around the world.
