Speaking
I have presented at hundreds of seminars and conferences, including a World Summit of Nobel Peace laureates, a U.S. Congressional hearing, and a TED conference.
I also do a lot of presentations about my three books (The Frontlines of Peace, Peaceland, and The Trouble with the Congo).
I speak on peace and peacebuilding (including conflict-resolution, peacekeeping, and international aid), as well as the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
