Speaking

I am an experienced speaker, facilitator, and moderator and have worked both with specialist and non-specialist audiences. I mainly offer talks, workshops, and lectures on feminist foreign policy; German foreign policy and the German Federal Foreign Office; diplomacy and gender, race, and class; and women in diplomacy.

If you want to book me for a speaking engagement, please reach out! I’m based in Berlin but happy to travel or do an online event.
