Bringing social media into the lecture hall
In fall 2026 I am co-teaching Unternehmensbesteuerung (Corporate Taxation) with Christoph Spengel for about 400 business students at the University of Mannheim. Young people increasingly learn economics from social media, not traditional media — so instead of lecturing about it, we bring real social-media takes on taxes into the classroom and examine, discuss, and analyze them together. We are inviting students and the wider community to submit examples.
