Talks and Appearances

I speak frequently on campuses and at conferences (as well as on radio and television) on the history of student activism and student government, on the state of the American student movement today, and on how students can organize more effectively to win concrete victories and grow their movements.

If you’re interested in bringing me to your campus or event, or in having me on your show, drop me a line at angus@fecko.com. If you’d like to see video or audio of my previous appearances, some examples are archived below. A letter of reference from a speech I gave to Wisconsin’s United Council can be found here.
