Philosophy for Non-Philosophers (QualiPlus)
I am the coordinator of (and a teacher in) the University of Fribourg’s QualiPlus program. QualiPlus provides philosophy classes for non-philosophy students at the University of Fribourg. The classes can be attended in German, French, or bilingually. For more info:

Navigating the Information Age
- I helped create an online teaching module at the University of Southampton, called “Navigating the Information Age,” that teaches students how to deal with our new epistemic challenges, such as fake news, conspiracy theories, and echo chambers, on the basis of our research on intellectual virtues (in cooperation with Genia Schönbaumsfeld and Taylor Matthews).
- I created a video on what Conspiracy Theories are, and what we can do about them, for this online teaching module. Contact me to ask for the file.
- I’m in the process of creating a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) on the basis of the “Navigating the Information Age” module (in cooperation with Genia Schönbaumsfeld).
