From the board room to the classroom to large conference stages, I have presented to diverse audiences.

Strategy and Design Talks

  • EPIC

EPIC

In 2011 I presented a paper at EPIC entitled “Evolutionary Matryoshka: Mapping the Dimensions of the Evolutionary Forces Impacting Survival of Ethnographic Insights within a Large Financial Enterprise.” It’s a mouth-full or a title! You can listen to the talk or read the full paper here.

Academic Conferences

  • INCoRE

    For INCoRE (Initiative on Conflict Resolution and Ethnicity) I presented in Belfast at a conference entitled From Violence to Politics, exploring how conflict perpetuates in plural societies given governance structures.

  • Human Behavior and Evolution Society

    Exploring the parallels between genetic and cultural evolutionary mechanics, I examined how cultural systems are subject to selective pressures.
