Moritz Baumgärtel

Hi, I’m Moritz Baumgärtel. I’m a legal scholar and educator, and I have been teaching university students for more than ten years. I currently work as a researcher at South-West University in Bulgaria and as Assistant Professor of Law and Sociology at University College Roosevelt in the Netherlands.

Over the years, I have taught subjects including public international law, human rights law, and the sociology of inequality. My own research focuses on the human rights of migrants, particularly xenophobia, discrimination, and the limits of international and European human rights law.

I believe education works best as an exchange rather than a one-way transfer of knowledge. We can think, question, and learn together wherever we happen to be, including online. This channel is a space for doing that: exploring law, society, politics, human rights, and some of the bigger questions that connect them.
