The Creative Age Festival of Edmonds is proud to present a thought-provoking, stimulating, and interactive program titled “When we speak about diversity, what are we actually speaking about?” by nationally acclaimed speaker and educator, Dr. Anu Taranath.

Dr. Taranath brings passion and expertise to her work as a speaker, facilitator, and educator. Since 2001, Dr. Taranath has taught at the University of Washington Seattle about global literature, identity, race, and equity. She received several regional distinctions, including Seattle Weekly’s “Best of Seattle” designation and the University of Washington’s Distinguished Teaching Award, as well as multiple national Fulbright awards and fellowships and other national recognitions.

A facilitator and consultant known for “pushing the conversation without pushing folks away,” Dr. Taranath engages with community organizations, government agencies and educational institutions to deepen social justice and global awareness. She collaborates with colleagues nationally, internationally, and regionally to bring a big-picture perspective to her discussions.
