Public Speaking
Lectures, Conferences, and Workshops
I taught Women’s Studies at San Diego State University for many years. I also have lectured at many other universities and public events on a diverse range of topics in the Humanities and Social Sciences. As someone committed to generating public dialogue on important issues of our time, I am available to speak at conferences, workshops, and community meetings. I also enjoy moderating panels, organizing workshops, and facilitating discussions.
Some recent lecture topics include:
“Writing Out of Bounds: Transitioning from Academic Writing to Personal Narrative.”
“Writing as a Practice of Vulnerability.”
“How Could It Happen to Her? Understanding Domestic Violence.”
“Diving for Pearls: A Woman’s Thinking Journey with Hannah Arendt.”
“Reflections on Gender and Violence: A Philosophical Journey with Hannah Arendt.”
“Why Hannah Arendt? Why Now?”
“Thinking about Democracy in an Age of Uncertainty.”
“Women and Politics.”
“Where in the World is Women's Studies? Gender and Multiculturalism in Curriculum Transformation.”
“`Aux Citoyennes': Women, Politics and the Paris Commune of 1871.”
“Citizenship, Feminism, and Civic Action.”
“On Authority, or Why Women Are Not Entitled to Speak.”
