I'm late on this but I've just read that Krister Segerberg passed early February:

He's been an inspiration way back during my MA, and I'm still amazed at how kind, constructive (and in retrospect so patient!) he was when I had the privilege to meet him some years later.

Prof. Johanna Thoma has been interviewed by the team of the Media Storm podcast, in an episode investigating how universities handle cases of sexual misconduct.

A pretty timely seminar coming up this summer, jointly taught by my colleagues Julian Fink (Philosophy) and Hartmut Egger (Econ). Philosophy and Economics at its best!

There won't be a live streaming. In the past we have sometimes recorded the Monday lectures (it's a five-day event) and made it publicly available afterwards. For this year this is still t.b.c..

Looking forward to this!

Looking forward to work with Matthias!
