![]() An author, poet, singer-songwriter, and poverty abolitionist
Nov 29, 2023 12:00 PM
Julia Dinsmore is an author, poet, singer-songwriter, and poverty abolitionist who is best-known for her poem, “My Name is Not Those People.” Julia uses creative voice and storytelling to talk about the one thing we too often ignore – class and poverty in America.
From church basements to the halls of congress, Julia has presented in her edu-performance style, calling those who listen to join the work of creating a just world for those experiencing poverty and marginalization. She is a teacher for students in high schools and ivy leagues. She has taught students at Stanford University, Brown, Duke Divinity, Swarthmore, and Amherst College, among others. She is most well known for her classes in neighborhood “porch sitting” which she calls an alternative to service-learning!
Julia is a mother and grandmother who lives in the Twin Cities of Minnesota and is deeply committed to her communities there. She has been a Community Faculty member with HECUA; Inequality In America (Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs) in St Paul for the past 30 years and has been part of shaping the creative community-based pedagogy of the institution.
Though functionally illiterate for most of her life, Julia taught herself how to write, while writing her first book, "My Name Is Child of God, Not Those People, A First Person Look at Poverty," (Augsburg Fortress). This book has become required reading in university classrooms and a favorite book of book clubs and reading groups.
Julia would love to come to your organization and facilitate an authentic conversation surrounding class discrepancies and building relationships across these seemingly impenetrable borders.
