Consultation hours: For student consultation in office hours, please see the sign-up links posted in your course's Moodle page. All other meetings on request via email.

For inquiries concerning the MA Philosophy and Economics, please email philosophyandeconomics@univie.ac.at in the first instance.

Students who wish to inform about absences or to request extensions of deadlines should please email my student assistant (see info on the course webpage).

Students seeking letters of recommendation: Please note that I can only write references with a lead time of at least two work weeks (not counting university vacations).

Note for prospective PhD students: I only consider requests for PhD supervision which include a CV and a one-page proposal of the intended research project. This proposal should explain the project's research question, summarize the state of the art, explain how the project fills a gap or shortcoming in the existing literature, and with what methods the project aims to answer the question and which literature it aims to engage. Your email should explain in some detail how my research expertise is suitable for supporting the proposed project.
