NOTE: I have reposted this list, because there have been many changes, including the addition of several new events, and the postponement of two others until the 2022-23 academic year.
Below is a list of my upcoming speaking engagements for the next six months or so. Unless otherwise noted, all events are free and open to the public - and in person. But those at universities are subject to their rules about on-campus access during the Covid pandemic. Those rules vary and may change over time. If you are not a student or faculty member at the relevant institution, you may wish to contact the university in question to ask about details on that front. Obviously, depending on the course of the pandemic, some in-person events may be shifted online or cancelled. I will update this post if that happens. I am guardedly optimistic the events will go forward. But it's hard to know for sure, at this time.
I will add additional events and information to this post, over time. In the meantime if your university, think tank, research institute or other similar organization would like to invite me to speak (either virtually or in person) on any topic within my expertise, I am open for business! You can get an overview of the issues I write and speak about at my website.
Unless otherwise noted, all times for in-person events refer to local time at the site, while times for virtual events refer to US eastern time.
