Ethan Casey speaks frequently to university and school classes, religious congregations, civic and professional organizations, and other groups. He uses his position as an American traveler, journalist, and author with more than fifteen years’ exposure to Pakistan to help foster historical and geographical perspective, human connections, and conversation between Americans and Pakistanis. He also is concerned to help improve Americans’ awareness of both the historic and the contemporary situation in Haiti, a country he visited first as a teenager in 1982 and most recently in August-September 2010.
During the 2010-11 academic year Ethan spoke at Princeton, Cornell, Harvard, the United States Naval Academy, and the United States Air Force Academy, as well as Texas Christian University and Seattle Central Community College. He spoke at a TEDx meeting hosted by the Princeton Public Library and was a speaker and competition judge at the student-organized RISE Pakistan conference at the University of Chicago. He will be the keynote speaker at the regional conference of NAFSA: Association of International Educators in Oklahoma City, October 24-27, 2011.
