See below for a list of my talks and speaking engagements over the years. This is not a complete list. I enjoy engaging with an audience or just having a discussion.

I have also done many institutional presentations at Umeå University and elsewhere. During my tenure at HUMlab I presented the institution, digital humanities and related matters hundreds of times. I take genuine delight in talking about the institution I represent and about the work carried our by colleagues and collaborators. Visiting delegations at HUMlab included international delegations from all over the world, the Board of the Wallenberg Foundation, several government ministers, the county governor, the Swedish Research Council (including the chair), Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (a major humanities-social sciences funding agency), the Swedish King and Queen, regional boards, CEOs of large companies, groups from Parliament and EU delegations. Such presentations are not included in the list below.
