For me, teaching goes hand-in-hand with research. Through interactive seminars based on dialogue and discussion, I give my students the space and freedom to grow, learn, question, and analyze. The picture above are some illustrations from my students after a workshop on botanical illustrations for my course, A History of Botany.
I teach courses in English and German.
