If you have any questions about my courses, please write to jp.sozialphilosophie@hu-berlin.de - this makes it easier for me to keep track. This address is also read by my team. If you have a concern that you just want to share with me, you are welcome to write directly to kristina.lepold@hu-berlin.de.


You can find my grading criteria for term papers and essays here. You can find important advice on academic work in philosophy in this guide from the Department (both in German).

 

 

Concerning the supervision of theses:

I am happy to supervise BA and MA theses that are thematically related to the teaching and research at the Junior Professorship for Social Philosophy/Critical Theory. If you're not sure if your planned topic fits, please take a look at the courses listed on this page (above and below) as well as my research interests.

If you do not yet have a confirmation of supervision from me, please first send a request for supervision by e-mail (to kristina.lepold@hu-berlin.de), in which you briefly explain the planned topic of your BA or MA thesis.

Please also familiarize yourself with my guidelines for thesis supervision.

Students whom I have agreed to supervise, or whom I am already supervising, can register for office hours here.
