I regularly give talks on Syrian history, politics, and society, and how the making of the Middle East relates to contemporary political developments in the region.

I speak to a variety of audiences, from NGOs to bookstores as well as universities, thinktanks, policymakers, and diplomats.

Please contact me if you would like me to speak at your organization.
