Nuri has guest lectured in various circumstances, from university classrooms to sleep away camps for 12-year-olds. All have provided a fantastic opportunity to explore these topics with others.
Unfortunately, Nuri is booked through the end of 2022 for in-person workshops and long-form course development. She also has very limited spaces available for in-person talks in 2022. However, she can still assist you with curriculum development and virtual guest lectures.
If you would like to host a talk or schedule Nuri for a conference, get in touch.
