Sarah Carr
Affiliation during program: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Country Focus: China





	Program: Fall 2006 [email protected]

Sarah Carr has covered urban education issues at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for the past four years. She has won awards for a series on Milwaukee’s distinctive school voucher program, and for a portrait of a middle school being shut down in the Bronx. Over the past year, Carr explored the lives of pre-schoolers through a fellowship with the University of Maryland’s Journalism Fellowships in Child and Family Policy. Previously, she worked at The Chronicle of Higher Education in Washington D.C. for two years, where her coverage of online education took her to tribal colleges in rural Montana and the dotcoms of San Francisco. Carr has also written for The Charlotte Observer, The Berkshire Eagle, and the Cape Cod Times. She graduated from Williams College in 1999 with a B.A. in English, and from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism in 2002.
