I like to talk about what I do at conferences and all kinds of events, although I try to minimise international travel, including combining events when possible. I regularly undertake remote lectures and panels via videoconferencing.
If you’d like to discuss a speaking engagement, please contact Deborah Rey-Burns of Propela at info@propela.co.uk.
