About me
As the Executive Director of Footage, and an applied social scientist, Kristen believes in the power of voice to transform lives, and doesn’t stop thinking about how we can magnify the voices of those not often heard. Kristen trained as a multimedia artist before receiving a PhD from the University of Cambridge. For over a decade she has been using multimedia methods (including digital storytelling and novel tools) in her empowerment work with communities and organizations worldwide. Kristen has published in leading journals, and is the author of two books including “Youth Identities, Localities, and Visual Material Culture” – a rich participatory ethnography of youth lives in New York City and sub-Arctic Canada. www.kaeglinton.com
