#74. Reframing Life through Cognitive Linguistics and Finding Grace through Unconditional Love — Jack Knipe, Ph.D.

"There is a very thin line between being politically correct for the sake of trying to use it to charge on other people, because they aren't informed on using the correct terms, and actually trying to be instrumental in making the world a better place." - Jack Knipe, Ph.D.

Welcome back to another episode of Discover More.

This week, we continue our conversation with Jack Knipe.

Jack has a Ph.D. in International Education & Linguistics and is currently an assistant professor of English and Spanish at Limestone University & an International Student Support Coordinator.

He is an extremely impressive polyglot who speaks 9 languages and comes with a wealth of knowledge in sociolinguistic, critical thinking, and equitable education.

If you haven't checked out part 1 of this fascinating and wide-ranging conversation with Jack, we would strongly recommend you to check it out here.

In this episode, Jack shares vulnerably about his journey pursuing a Ph.D. while battling an autoimmune condition.

He also explains many fascinating and important topics including intercultural competency, cognitive linguistics, and psychological frame theory.

Using examples from his classroom and stories from his past, Jack delivers a conversation that is both emotionally moving and inspiring.

Please note that there are a few sensitive and potentially triggering topics discussed at the end of this episode, including death and suicide, so please feel free to skip accordingly.

We hope you enjoy this week’s episode of Discover More with us and Jack Knipe.
