Transform Talks:
Workshops for staff & communities on gender & disability
In recent years, I've consulted for acting troupes, businesses, churches, and educators on how to build more accessible, welcoming, and critical spaces for a wider diversity of persons. I have collected and expanded this material into workshops on gender, sexuality, and disability. The new program is geared to a variety of communities and workplaces. These, "Transform Talks" are available on different levels to suit a host of particular needs. Short, 1-2 hour bootcamps will help orient staff, faculty, and minsters on (1) key language, (2) best practices, and (3) context and background in targeted communities. Longer day to weekend long seminars will also be available where team members can become better oriented and trained in diversity, including (1) getting to know important stories and histories, (2) workshopping situations, and (3) transforming social and physical spaces to be safe and fruitful for a wider range of lives.
Prices vary depending on needs and duration.
Contact mbychows@gwu.edu for more information.

Lectures & Keynotes:
Public speeches on a variety of critical topics
I have spoken at diverse events on gender, disability, religion, education, and performances. The duration and formality of these lectures vary depending on the needs of the community from formal to casual, large groups and intimate gatherings.

Conference Talks:
Academic presentations on my past and current research
As part of the lecture circuit I have presented talks as part of numerous conferences. Most talks follow my current research and publication interests, however, several stem from special topics introduced by the event or by a prompt from the organizers. Below is a list of some of the conference papers, panels, and roundtables on which I have presented.
