"There's so much interesting space to talk about who can tell a story, and who has the right to tell a story, and how we tell stories about ourselves and each other. I think that it's something to be handled with such intentionality and sensitivity." - Julie Knutson

Welcome back to another episode of Discover More.

This week, we have a special episode to celebrate Women’s History Month.

This week’s guest is Julie Knutson. (KIN-UT-SEN)

Julie is an author and educator with a wide-ranging background in history, humanities, and the social sciences. She also serves as editorial director at ThinkCERCA.

A true multipotentialite, Julie holds an undergraduate degree in cultural studies from NYU, a master’s degree in Political Sociology from The London School of Economics, and additional post-grad degrees in education and art history from Rice University.

One of her recent books, “Global Citizenship: Engage in the Politics of a Changing World,” was awarded a Skipping Stones Honor for Multicultural books, and helps young readers examine what it means to be a global citizen.
