Speaking Engagements

Dr. Karen Ralls is a dynamic and engaging speaker, both live and on-screen. She makes history ‘come alive’ in presentations, often using many visual aids, slides and/or music. Her gifts for making the academic accessible, and for giving a sound basis to the experiential, qualify her to address a very wide range of audiences, at diverse locations and events. From many types of conferences, teaching or academic settings, to media interviews, workshops/retreats or tours, she has shared a platform with many other leading speakers, artists, scientists and authors.
