I teach philosophy to philosophy and non-philosophy students. My courses include: Intercultural Philosophy and Postcolonial Theory for philosophy students and Intercultural Philosophy for students in Letters and Arts, Social and Political Philosophy: Violence and Nonviolence for Masters students in Philosophy, Media Ethics for Journalism students and Thesis Writing for Bachelor Students.
Next to my research and teaching I aim to bring philosophy out of the ivory tower by writing a blog, giving lectures, and writing for internet magazines of general interest.
