Upcoming "Virtual" Speaking Engagements - And I'm Open to Doing More [Reposted]

A list of my upcoming online speaking engagements on various law and public policy issues. I am "open for business" for additional talks, too.

NOTE: I am reposting this, because many additional events have been added since I previously posted it on August 16. I will continue to update the post as new events come online.

Over the last few months, it has been virtually impossible to do in-person speaking engagements. However, I have done quite a few online, and have more scheduled over the next few months. Here are videos of recent online talks I gave about my book Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration and Political Freedom for the Cato Institute (with commentary by economist Bryan Caplan and immigration law scholar Peter Margulies), and the University of Torcuato Di Tella law faculty Seminar on Law, Economics, and Regulation (Argentina). Below is a list of all currently scheduled talks from now through the end of the year (all of them virtual).

If you are a student, faculty, member or otherwise affiliated with one of the host institutions, you should be able to get information from them on how to sign on to view  these talks. Some may also allow members of the general public to listen and ask questions. In some cases, there will also be video posted online afterwards.

And 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!

Virtual speaking events have some disadvantages relative to in-person ones. But they do have the benefit of being easier and cheaper to set up. If the talk is about one of my books, the organizer will get a free copy, and it might be possible to provide discount copies for at least some audience members.

Most of the talks below are about my new book Free to Move (the Introduction, which includes an overview of the rest of the book, is available for free download here). But I'm more than happy to speak about other topics within my areas of expertise, as well.
