Lectures in San Diego and Online

Since I started teaching at the college level, I’ve enjoyed speaking to groups about topics I love. Although I am no longer formally an academic, I still give talks on a variety of historical or literary topics.

All talks are accompanied by Powerpoint slides (photos, video, audio) and last between 1-2 hours. My rate is generally between $100-$250 a talk, depending on topic and length. See my resumé for details on my regular speaking engagements with the Oasis Learning Center and Osher CSUSM.
