My Story: How the Threat of Violence Changed me Forever

Rehumanize: Book Talk

(20-45 minutes)

Following the launch of my newest book, Rehumanize: A Vision for Securing Human Rights for All, I'll have a lecture covering the larger themes of the book, a reading of an excerpt or two, and information about how to get involved with rehumanizing our world—starting right in your communities!

The Commoditization of Children

This presentation explores themes of the dehumanization of treating children as means to ends, or as goods to be creat- ed, bought, sold, edited, or discarded — through abortion, trafficking, IVF, circum- cision, and more.

Sonder: The Key to Peace?

This can be included in almost any presentation, or be on its own: it is the brief explanation of practical Personalism, empathy in action, and an ethics of encounter.

Healing through Community: A Human-Centered Response to Sexual Violence

In this presentation, I delve into my own personal story as a survivor of rape and talk about practicable ways we can combat rape culture in our communities and help victims heal after sexual violence.
