CALENDAR
I tour and lecture pretty much year-round. See below for a calendar of where I am speaking, but I add dates and cities pretty often. To book me just drop me a line and I am happy to consider most anything. If possible, I like to charge on a sliding scale between $1000 - $3000 (if you can’t afford that, give me a call. I’m kind of a softie). I am happy to talk to community groups or universities, give public lectures, double them up with workshops, organize day-long events - let me know what you have in mind and I can tell you whats worked well in the past.
I usually have five or six lectures that I have more or less ready to go, but I adjust them for each gig and can always develop something specific. Right now I am mainly doing stuff around this new book, Common Ground in a Liquid City: Essays in Defense of an Urban Future : talks about urban sustainability, the city from below and radical urbanism.
But others are available, in all kinds of renditions: Watch Yourself: Why Safer Isn’t Always Better, Possibility in the Face of Probability (deschooling and alternatives to school), Social Ecology and Counter Institutions, and lots else.
