I teach philosophy at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. My core interests lie in various areas of theoretical philosophy and in the teaching and learning of philosophy at universities, in secondary schools, and in the public sphere.

My current activities include:

• leading the academic teaching project project "Kontroversen begleiten mit Argumentlandkarten" (Supporting Debates with Argument Maps),
• co-leading the DFG-project "Kognitiv-Rationale Rekonstruktion" (Cognitive-Rational Reconstruction),
• acting as Geschäftsführer (Managing Director) of the German Society for Analytic Philosophy (Gesellschaft für analytische Philosophie e.V., GAP),
• taking part in the interactive public philosophy project "denXte", mainly as creator, coordinator and co-host of the podcast "mitgedacht",
• co-running "LehrGut", a (mainly German) Blog for topics in the teaching and learning of philosophy at universities, as one of the founders and editors, as well as
• leading the DFG-netzwork "Argumentieren in der Schule" (Argumentation in Secondary Schools).

Earlier, I worked at Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, at Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, at Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster and at Freie Universität Berlin. This is also where I received my doctorate and my master's degree, after a year as a Visiting Graduate Student at Stanford University.
