Invite me to speak
I am an experienced and passionate public speaker. I frequently give lectures, talks, and workshops across the private, public, and NGO-sectors. My audiences include academics, high school students, university students, film- and media-creatives, activists, and others. I also enjoy participating in and moderating panels.
I mostly talk about:
Product Ethics and AI Ethics
Representation in tech, film, and media
Equality, biases and discrimination
Race, class, gender, sexuality, and their intersections
I have taught and spoken about topics ranging from (de)coloniality, porn studies, music videos, reality television, marketing, communications, business & human rights to corporate social responsibility. To request an appearance please contact me. For a full overview please see my Curriculum Vitae specifically about ‘Talks’.
Past Speaking Engagements
AI and Tech Ethics
2024 - Danish Pioneer Centre for AI and DTU SKYLAB (Danish Technical University) hosts a series called Applied AI Lunch Talks. Participants from all over the globe tuned in to this hybrid event, live from Denmark. The talk was on “AI and Tech Ethics - Why you should build socially sustainable products and services” and the audience ranged from academics, AI professionals, founders, start-ups, students, and more.
Acts, (Arti)Facts, and Politics of Representation
2023 - As part of the lecture series African Studies Global Virtual Forum at Penn State, I was invited to give a virtual lecture on the research and findings of my PhD project. The talk focuses in particular on the model I developed to examine Acts, Arti(Facts), and Politics of Representation.
Representation
2019 - FIA, SAG-AFTRA, ACTRA. Unions and actors associations from across the globe invited me to speak at their global summit in Canada about the impacts of representation on work in creative industries.
Decolonial & Decentering Talk
2019 - At the People’s Forum in New York I co-organized, planned, and carried out a workshop and talk about activism, the academy, and decolonization.
Keynote Address
2018 - I was invited to give a Keynote Lecture at the Annual Nordic Intercultural Communication Conference. The lecture, on representation and communication, addressed the discursive and filmic challenges of ‘interculturality’.
Can Colonialism be Traced in Danish Film?
2017 - The decolonial collective Marronage, which I am a former editor and member of, hosted a lecture series at Copenhagen Central Library called ‘counter-readings’. My lecture was part of this series and was open to the public.
Gender equality in film
2016 - Women In Film and Television Denmark (WIFT DK) invited me to give a monologue-style talk at the Danish theatre Teater GROB. Breaking from typical lecture styles, this included a more free-moving performance-style talk with no visual aids.
