#94. Guiding Life through Questions, Embracing Education as Awakening, Transformational Storytelling, and more — Julie Knutson

"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

This week’s guest is Julie Knutson.

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.
