Speaking Events

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are currently no plans for a formal in-person book tour. However, if you would like to organize an interview or virtual on-line event (lecture, panel, workshop, etc.), please get in touch. In-person guest lectures and other speaking events will be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on local and regional public health recommendations in place at the time of the invitation.

Beyond minimal book-related costs (shipping copies for prospective reviewers, website maintenance and translation, etc.), all honararia from speaking events will be deferred to designated organizations in support of Indigenous children, youth, and their communities, and/or to support Indigenous resurgence, land defence and landback initiatives.
