Karin Muller:
“Perilous Journeys”

Monday, April 15

Karin Muller is a Swiss-born author, filmmaker, photographer, and adventurer. Karin set out in the 1990s to travel the world’s historic highways. She is an expert lecturer on Japan for the National Geographic Society, has been featured on National Public Radio, and her writing appears in National Geographic and Traveler magazines.  Among the many things she’s done is walk the Inca Trail in Peru, filming as she went, and she spent months with the Maasai in Kenya. Karin has also founded an educational organization named Take 2: The Student’s Point of View whose mission is to help students develop global citizenship and leadership skills so that they can better understand the challenges faced by people in conflict regions around the world. Karin spends two to three months filming in various locales, then provides the raw footage to North American schools free of charge. Students are encouraged to use the footage and supporting documentation to create documentaries or short films reflecting the issues that they learn about while going through the footage. Approximately 40 schools (including RUSD) have joined the project thus far. http://www.peacecorpswriters.org/pages/2005/0511/511talkmuller.html
