Anderson has given public talks about Edward de Vere and the "Shakespeare" authorship question for audiences of young and old,
general audiences and specialists alike.
Cultural organizations, research centers and conferences from the National Theatre Institute of the Netherlands to FreedomFest in Las Vegas
have featured Anderson as a highlighted speaker.
Colleges and universities from the City College of New York to Tamkang and National Ilan Universities in Taiwan have hosted Anderson's talks for both English and theatre
majors and general audiences. ("Thought-provoking lectures... Your research on Shakespeare indeed brings fresh air into the
scholarship. Our colleagues and students have learned a lot." -Peter Huang, Tamkang University, Taipei)
High schools
and prep schools from Deerfield Academy to Puget Sound Community School in Seattle have featured Anderson's classroom talks. ("I observed the
students listening intently... keeping
the audience of high school students engrossed. To achieve that goal with this age group is not an easy task, however to repeat this task three
times was quite an achievement." -Karen Anderson [no relation], instructor of English, Hotchkiss School, Lakeville, Conn.)
