• My talk at DiGS 22 (Konstanz, 2021), “The diachrony of verbal categorizers in Indo-European: where does v come from?“
• Here‘s Dalina and me at BCGL 12 (2019), presenting our work on cross-categorial syncretism and diminutives (starting around 1:21:55).
• Here‘s my BCGL 12 presentation on Greek verbal morphology (starting around 4:42:00).

• … or watch Hannes and me present our joint work on passives in (proto)-Indo-European at ECIEC 36 (here‘s the handout). I was on skype for my part of the talk, but the quality is great, thanks to the organizers!
• A long time ago, Hannes and I presented our work on Greek and Latin verbal governing compounds in *-a:- at the 2012 Copenhagen Fachtagung (published in the proceedings of that conference). Notable trivia: Jay chaired our session.
