Upcoming Book Talks (reposted)
I’ve booked a number of book talks and other presentations for 2023, and while you’ll be able to see some of them on the events page, I wanted to list them all in one place. Many of them will be on Zoom! Some of these events may be subject to change, of course, but mark your calendars if you think you might be able to attend! I’ll update all this at a later point and possibly do a new post to supplant this one.
