Seeing the continent; Studying Euroscepticism

Meet Katja Greeson, an alum of the TransAtlantic Masters program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who travelled across Europe in the summer of 2019 after receiving a Jean Monnet Center of Excellence Summer Research Award. Katja currently works as a Project Manager at the Transatlantic Exchange of Civic Educators.

In tandem with a Question & Answer post about Katja’s research experience, this photo essay provides a glimpse into Katja’s focus on euroscepticism and youth participation, as well as the goals of the JMCE Summer Research Award: making the EU — and the study of it — accessible to as many people as possible.
