University of Washington
Ochberg Fellow at the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma 2007 — 2007
Reporting responsibly and credibly on violence and traumatic events — on crime, family violence, natural disasters and accidents, war and genocide — is among the greatest challenges facing contemporary journalism. The Dart Center Ochberg Fellowship, now in its ninth year, was established by the Dart Center in order to better prepare journalists for this challenge.
The fellowship is named for the Dart Center Executive Committee's Chairman Emeritus, Frank Ochberg, M.D., a psychiatrist and pioneer in the understanding of violence and trauma.
The week-long Ochberg Fellowship program offers midcareer journalists a unique opportunity to learn from leading experts in the many dimensions of trauma, and to forge relationships with colleagues who share those interests. Fellows attend several days of seminars, then participate in the annual conference of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (istss.org). -
University of Michigan
Knight-Wallace Fellow in journalism 2006 — 2007
The Knight-Wallace Fellows program provides outstanding mid-career professionals the opportunity to indulge in a sabbatical year of study and reflection. The Fellowship is designed to broaden perspectives, nurture intellectual growth, and inspire personal transformation. To this end, Fellows devise a plan of study and select classes from the full range of courses offered at the University of Michigan. Additionally, prominent journalists and leading academics give twice-weekly seminars. With no deadlines, a Knight-Wallace Fellowship frees you to explore the expanse of scholarship at the University of Michigan.
