TALKS AND LECTURES

I offer a wide range of illustrated talks and lectures on a range of subjects, suitable for all kinds of groups and occasions. These include festivals, historical societies, and after-dinner events. I work with audiences ranging from primary school age to post-retirement, tailoring each presentation to suit.

 

I also provide lectures and seminars at university level, and present papers at conferences.
