Public Speaking

Some ideas want to be written; others want to be spoken — tested aloud, in a room, with people. From academic lectures on yogini sanghas and diplomacy to poetry readings from My India, from panels on peace and gender to conversations with media, speaking is where my research and my practice meet an audience.
