I like to organize events. I believe collaboration is at the essence of academic research and teaching. I always felt reassured by the lively exchanges when you bring scholars from all generations together, exposing them to different ways of thinking and discussing. And, it gives me a chance to design flyers, which is one of my not-so-secret passions! Here is a list of my recent activities:
