Supervision, Mentoring & Networking
A good part of my work takes place through supervising and evaluating students’ research (Bachelor, Master, Doctorate) both at UNIFR and with other universities.
Mentoring is sorely needed in academic contexts. I try to help as I’m able, passing on some of my teaching and research experience to younger scholars.
Academic networking allows scholars to share their research and receive feedback. I’m a member of various academic societies:
Teaching and Preaching in Church contexts
My vocation as a scholar-minister involves keeping a balance between teaching in academic and church contexts. I serve as a curate at St Ursula’s Church in Bern.
I also enjoy preaching and teaching in other churches and groups.
I have received so much from teachers and colleagues in the USA, Italy, Belgium, Niger, and Switzerland. What I have received, I try to pass on to my students. It doesn’t belong to me.
