Teaching Philosophy

My teaching is closely integrated with my research in political philosophy. I approach teaching as an extension of inquiry: courses are structured around contemporary debates in distributive justice, democratic theory, and institutional design, and regularly incorporate findings from ongoing research projects.

Across undergraduate and graduate levels, I aim to combine conceptual rigor, argumentative precision, and engagement with real-world policy questions.


Areas of Teaching

I have taught across BA, MA, and doctoral programs in the following areas:

At the graduate level, I regularly teach seminars on distributive justice, basic income, predistribution, and democratic equality, integrating current research into advanced discussion formats.


Graduate Supervision

Since 2016, I have supervised:

Doctoral supervision has frequently involved competitive funding schemes (FCT doctoral grants) and international co-supervision with scholars at institutions such as Oxford, Sciences Po Paris, University of Barcelona, University of Linz, and Tampere University.

Research topics supervised include:

Many supervised students have presented at international conferences, published research, and integrated into European and global academic networks.


Research-Based Pedagogy

My pedagogical approach integrates:

Funded research projects such as UBIEXP and UBIECO have directly informed graduate seminars, dissertation topics, and collaborative student research initiatives.

The aim is not only to transmit philosophical knowledge but to train independent researchers capable of contributing to contemporary debates in political theory and public policy.


Academic Program Leadership

These roles involve curriculum design, supervision structures, internationalization efforts, and the integration of research and teaching at institutional level.
