PUBLIC SPEAKING
I love talking about literature and history to the wider public, as well as exchanging ideas with other scholars.
In 2017, I had the terrifying pleasure of being interviewed about Jane Austen by CNN and ABC Radio. I've also had the opportunity to serve as a quoted authority for news stories on Jane Austen in the New York Times, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, and Maclean's. Once I scored my own square on the New York Times's "Janeiac Board Game" (9 August 2013)!
I'm so grateful when I get chances to make presentations to amazing audiences across the globe. In recent years, I've spoken to thousands of people, at events held at the British Academy to the 92nd St Y in New York City, from the National Portrait Gallery (London) and Columbia University, to the Sorbonne and National Library of Australia.
I've been a keynote speaker at academic conferences, including the British Association for Romantic Studies, the British Women Writers Conference, the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism, and the Jane Austen Society of North America's Annual General Meeting in Huntington Beach, CA, commemorating the bicentenary of Austen's death, as well as at JASNA's first in-person pandemic gathering, in Chicago, IL. I once had the opportunity to try to summarize my book, The Making of Jane Austen, in five minutes at the "Humanities in Five" program at the Modern Language Association.
The full list of places I've spoken in recent years is listed on my CV. I hope to be able to visit an area near your home in the future.
