As a trustee professor (Vertrauensdozentin) of the Hans Böckler Foundation,  I review applications from prospective fellowship holders at all levels. I support scholarship holders during their studies as a trusted contact and by writing evaluations for continued funding. I currently supervise seven undergraduate or graduate students and three PhD students.


I have taught the following courses at different institutions:


Two PhD students are currently under my supervision:

  • Ulli Lich: Energy use, poverty reduction and gender in Sub-Saharan Africa (working title)
  • Johanna Blübaum: The impact of income inequality on carbon emissions: Advances in empirical research (working title)


I have served as a reviewer on various PhD committees:

  • Martin Middelanis: "The 2003-2013 Commodity Boom and Its Impact on the Productive Structure and Social Policies in Latin America" (FU Berlin, 2024)
  • Alessandra Quintigliano: "Faith, divisions, and conflict: the development legacy of Christian missionary activities in Africa and its interplay with ethnic diversity and conflict" (Sapienza University of Rome, 2025)
