Christene Browne: The History of Language
Christene Browne is no stranger to ambitious creative projects.
She’s an award-winning novelist and filmmaker who tells stories that celebrate culture, give a voice to the voiceless, and bring social inequalities to the forefront of her audience’s mind.
One of Christene’s most ambitious projects was Speaking in Tongues: The History of Language, where she recounted the history of language from prehistoric times to the present day. Her groundbreaking series covered many of the most pressing facts and controversies about language and featured interviews with Noam Chomsky and many other notable linguists.
On this live call, Christene will share how making Speaking in Tongues has impacted her own relationship with writing and language. She’ll also share her experience building a successful career telling stories — both on the page and on the screen. In the second half of the call, we’ll host a Q&A.
