Kick-off conversation at Uni Innsbruck
Following my first days at Uni Innsbruck, I had a short interview with Nina Brillinger, who supports the department as a student assistant. We talked about research, teaching, and what are central factors in an academic career. The interview (in German) is available here: https://www.uibk.ac.at/fakultaeten/betriebswirtschaft/news/2021/lindner.html.de.
I started a new job!
As of May 1, I started a new job as full professor of international management at the University of Innsbruck. There is still a lot of work in terms of setting things up, but the university has posted a first “welcome” message, which I share here: https://www.uibk.ac.at/newsroom/dossiers/neue_gesichter/. Looking forward to new challenges and adventures!
How to use peer feedback for business school teaching
WU’s Future Learning Now newsletter includes an interview I gave on using peer feedback in my graduate and undergraduate teaching: https://learn.wu.ac.at/open/tlac/teacherstalk-april2021. The central reason why I think using peer feedback for teaching is because it encourages critical reflection on the perspectives from which complex problems can be solved.
