Teaching

I teach substantive classes on democracy, participation and populism as well as methods classes (and workshops) on text analysis, webscraping, computational social science and data journalism. Below, you can find a list of my current and upcoming, as well as past courses.

Some of my syllabi and course resources, e.g. for a 2020 Text Analysis Course are also available on GitHub. If you are interested in my teaching evaluations, drop me an e-mail.
