I love public speaking and would be delighted if you invited me to talk to your group (click here for contact information). Some topics for talks I’ve given in the past include:
- God’s Lady Problem (the paradox of religious women and the intersection of atheism & feminism)
- My Journey to the Creation Museum (a humorous virtual tour highlighting and debunking its wackiness)
- Skeptical Genetics (clarifying common misconceptions about genetics, especially in the media)
- Edgy Yet Friendly (how to create interesting, media-attracting events while minimizing offense)
I’ve also spoken about atheism in general, blogging, diversity, and activism. I’m always open to suggestions for new topics – if you read my blog, you probably know what I’m interested in. Keep in mind that I’m a graduate student and thus on a limited budget. I’m more likely to be able to come if you’re near Seattle, near a place I’m already planning to visit for some other reason, or able to cover travel expenses.
