"OWNING EXPERTISE"
Presented by Michigan News in the Office of the Vice President for Communications, this interactive talk by Katie Orenstein, founder and CEO of The OpEd Project, addresses core questions of thought leadership: What do we know, why does it matter, and how can we maximize our impact? The goal is for attendees to leave with bold ideas, a deeper sense of what they know and stand for, and actionable steps for public engagement—a U-M presidential initiative.
All faculty at the University of Michigan are invited and encouraged to attend.
ABOUT THE OPED PROJECT
The OpEd Project is a think tank and leadership organization founded to change who writes history. They are a community of journalists and thought leaders who actively share knowledge, resources and connections across color, creed, class, sexuality, gender, orientation and more. Through their nationally acclaimed curriculum, and through a portfolio of programs in partnership with leading institutions across the nation and the globe, their goal is to accelerate the ideas and impact of underrepresented voices.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Katie Orenstein, founder and CEO of The OpEd Project, writes and speaks frequently about the intersection of media and mythology—that is, what we think is fact or fiction and how that shapes our ideas about politics, culture and history. She has contributed to the op-ed pages of The New York Times, The Washington Post and Miami Herald. Her commentaries on women, politics, popular culture, mythology and human rights have been nationally syndicated and appear in anthologies. Orenstein, a graduate of Harvard (BA) and Columbia (MA), has lectured at Harvard and Stanford universities, and appeared on ABC TV World News, Good Morning America, MSNBC, CNN, and NPR All Things Considered.
