Each year, I give several keynote speeches and conference papers. Audiences vary, so each talk is prepared for its context. It can also be a good reason to rethink some of my ideas and draw in recent experiences. I write a new text, or at least some fairly full notes for every talk: the links below will open as PDF documents. Please email me if you’d like to discuss some input for a conference.
