Public Talks and Appearances
Speaking at the annual Houston History Conference, October 2014. Courtesy HHA.
From time to time I have the opportunity to give a public presentation on my research. These are a lot of fun for me, and (I hope) informative for the audience. On this page I’ll keep a listing of upcoming presentations and appearances. Hope to see you there!
