Biography

Kate McGovern

From her website:

Hello. I'm Kate.

I love stories, real and imagined. Over the years, I've written plays, essays, and articles about education, relationships, race, road trips and more...featuring cab drivers, homeless women, grandmothers, teenagers and others. You can read some of those things here. I've also taught theatre and worked with students with special educational needs in New York and London.

I received my BA in American Studies from Yale University in 2003. In 2008, I went across the pond to Oxford, where I was extremely fortunate to be awarded a Weidenfeld Scholarship, make some amazing friends from all over the world, and get a master's degree in social anthropology. After some years in Manhattan, Queens, northwest London and an English country village, I returned to Cambridge, MA, where I was born and raised.
