These are some of the events I intend to participate in over the next little while.

2010	University of St Andrews (February) I am presenting at the 'Christians in the Middle East' conference
2009	Africa-in-Motion Film Festival Symposium, Edinburgh (October) I am chairing a panel at what promises to be a really interesting day on the 'Realities and Representations of Reconciliation in Africa'. And the film festival as a whole is going to be great...!
2009	New College, Edinburgh (October) I've been invited to speak on 'Postcolonial theory in the rewriting of mission history'.
2009	Al-Maktoum Institute, Dundee (September) I have been invited to give a lecture. My title will be: 'Jerusalem in the Scottish missionary imagination - the unreality of the real (1840s-1920s)'
