Keynotes & Workshops
Teaching that challenges, informs, and transforms.
I bring rigorous feminist scholarship to stages, classrooms, and organizations — translating complex research on objectification, women's rights, and healthy sexuality into talks that are accessible, evidence-based, and genuinely moving.
Speaking Topics
Each keynote and workshop is grounded in peer-reviewed research and shaped by lived experience.
The Psychology of Sexual Objectification
What happens to women's minds, bodies, and relationships when objectification becomes a way of life? This talk draws on objectification theory, self-objectification research, and personal narrative to illuminate a process most women have experienced but few have named.
Neoliberalism, Self-Surveillance, and the Body
How does contemporary culture encourage women to manage themselves as products? This keynote examines the intersection of neoliberal ideology, social media, and sexual objectification — and what it costs women to live under a constant external gaze.
Pornography, Culture, and Women's Consciousness
A rigorous, evidence-based examination of how pornography functions as a cultural institution — drawing on Dworkin, MacKinnon, and contemporary empirical research to explore its effects on sexual norms, self-perception, and gender equality.
Healthy Sexuality and Women's Autonomy
What does sexuality look like when it is organized around embodiment, agency, and genuine desire rather than performance and external validation? This talk offers a feminist vision of sexual health grounded in subjectivity and self-determination.
Feminist Research for Non-Academic Audiences
Decades of feminist scholarship on women's rights, gender, and sexuality rarely reaches the people who need it most. This talk makes that research legible — translating academic findings into language that informs, empowers, and activates.
Sexual Exploitation and Public Health
An intersectional analysis of how sexual exploitation — including trafficking, pornography, and commercial sexual industries — functions as a public health issue, with implications for policy, education, and community response.
Reclaiming Subjectivity: A Path Toward Liberation
What does it look like to move from an objectified relationship with oneself toward full embodied subjectivity? This talk weaves personal narrative with feminist theory to offer a framework for understanding — and beginning — that journey.
Eros, Embodiment, and the Feminist Body
Drawing on Audre Lorde's concept of the erotic and feminist body theory, this talk explores what it means to inhabit the body as a source of knowledge, power, and connection — rather than as an object to be evaluated and consumed.
