Christine is a creative innovator working to educate young people and reshape national conversations about the arts and humanities by writing articles, books, and guide books for the next generation. She believes that social transformation happens by building partnerships, including diverse voices, and empowering everyone. Most importantly, she believes in the need for more creative and humanistic approaches and voices to build a more purposeful tomorrow.
In Students Call for Social Change, Christine empowers young people to express what’s on their mind and call the public to action. Through a series of courses at Union College and through independent projects, participants write and publish blogs and books to inspire the change they wish to see in their world. They publish these books on Amazon and donate all proceeds to an after-school tutoring program for kids.
To reframe our national dialogues, Christine is editing a book that seeks to shift our thinking about the crisis in the arts and humanities to one that bespeaks of rise and renaissance. In How Extraordinary Partnerships: How the Arts and Humanities are Transforming America, the personal accounts of cultural community leaders, artists, educators, scholars and business professionals from all fields and disciplines enter into dialogue to showcase how deeply social and responsible transformations are being driven in partnership with the arts and humanities.
In addition, and since most publications in defense of the arts and humanities today are not reaching or speaking to the needs of the next generation of students, Christine is designing an advice guide for and, most importantly, by students and young professionals who want to understand why they should pursue a degree in the arts and humanities. Through their voices, Arts & Humanities: Don' Leave College Without Them addresses what the next generation needs to know now about where, why and how the arts and humanities can play a foundational and transformative role in their lives and careers.
Christine continues to build The Arts & Humanities in the 21st Century Workplace webpage and to work with current college students to capture new and exciting voices and visions to creatively redirect and reshape the future of higher education.
