TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Teaching Assistant
Spring 2006 and 2007 Law: French Constitutional Law Course Professor: Guy Carcassonne. This lower-level undergraduate course introduces first- year law students to the theory and practice of French Constitutional Law. In my tutorial classes, I used comparative approaches and examples from other legal systems as a heuristic device.
Fall 2006 Law and Political Science: European Law and European Integration Course Professors: Patrick Daillier/Philippe Guttinger. This is an upper-level undergraduate course introducing third-year students of law and political science to the main institutional, political and legal aspects of European integration. In my tutorials, I put a particular emphasis on the principal theoretical approaches to European integration and the works of Scharpf, Haas, Moracsvick, Stone Sweet, and Weiler.
Fall 2005 and 2006 Law and Political Science: Government and French Politics Course Professor: Guy Carcassonne. Designed for first-year undergraduate students of law and political science, this course focuses on the evolution of the French political system, introducing the basic tools and classifications of political science (federal and unitary states, party-systems, electoral systems, presidentialism, parliamentarism…).
Spring 2005 Law: Public Law and Constitutional Theory Course Professor: Christophe Grzegorczyk. This course introduces the main theories and concepts of Public and Constitutional Law – such as state, sovereignty, constitutionalism, democracy, the rule of law, separation of power, fundamental rights, or judicial review.

Privatdozent
