speaking and Keynote services

I deliver keynotes, featured lectures, and facilitated conversations for universities, conferences, nonprofit convenings, and community organizations. My talks combine research-based insight with cultural and creative practice, addressing the intersections of AI, learning, design, and identity.

I have been invited to speak at prestigious universities across the United States and internationally. I have presented at UNESCO, led workshops and talks for community college districts, and facilitated sessions for the University of California Office of the President. I have also keynoted at community colleges and at discipline-specific and interdisciplinary forums. These engagements reflect a range of institutional contexts and audience types.

My work draws on scholarship in learning sciences, digital culture, equity and justice, and media practices, alongside creative and cultural forms such as drag and narrative worldmaking. Audiences can expect analytical clarity, substantive grounding, and actionable implications.
