PRESENTATIONS

Keynote Session, International Toy Research Association World Conference 

​

In 2023, 95 toy researchers from 23 countries met at The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, NY for the first ITRA World Conference ever held in the United States. I was fortunate to be asked to open the conference with this talk about the power of play and the ability of toys to inform who we become.
