Upcoming Virtual Speaking Engagements [Updated and Reposted]

A list of my upcoming online speaking engagements. I am "open for business" for additional talks, too.

|

NOTE: I have reposted this, because a number of events have recently been added.

While I hope that vaccination changes things over the next few months, for now only virtual  speaking engagements are possible. Last semester, I gave virtual talks "at" a variety of institutions in the United States and abroad, including Harvard, Yale, Cornell, the University of Virginia, Columbia, and others. If nothing else, I am much more comfortable speaking on Zoom and other similar systems than I was before!

Below is my list of online speaking for the spring semester. I am open for business for additional events.if you would like to invite me to give a "virtual" talk about any of my areas of expertise (described in more detail at my website here) at your own university, think thank, or other similar organization, please feel free to contact me.

Unless otherwise noted, they are open to the public, not just students and faculty at the relevant institution. All time are US eastern time (again, unless otherwise noted).

Many of these events are about my recent book Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration and Political Freedom. But I am happy to talk about other issues within my expertise as well. The latest and most timely addition may be the second impeachment of Donald Trump (my writings on the subject were cited in the House Judiciary Committee impeachment report).

I will update this post regularly, with new speaking engagements, and additional information about existing ones.
