I have presented my research and curatorial projects at many international conferences and symposia. I regularly participate in panel discussions, deliver public lectures and gallery talks, and contribute to podcasts.
I have been a guest lecturer at Goldsmiths, University of London, Central Saint Martins, Glasgow School of Art, London College of Communication and the Sotheby’s Institute. I have been a guest critic for the Master of Architecture course at the University of Westminster and MA Curating at the Royal College of Art, and have served as an external examiner for the Product Design BA at the Icelandic University of the Arts.
