Leader: Michael Kessler
Many of today’s international crises have a strong religious component, yet media coverage often omits or oversimplifies these complexities and nuances. The Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University believes that a deep examination of faith and values is critical to address today’s global challenges, and that the open engagement of religious and cultural traditions with one another can promote peace. With this mission in mind, from 2018 through 2025 the Berkley Center partnered with the Pulitzer Center to support and promote Pulitzer's work by hosting their reporting grantees twice a year for panel discussions and class visits on campus. In addition, the collaboration allowed us to offer a student international reporting fellowship. This partnership supported journalism that investigates or illuminates the religious dimension of an international issue, bringing to light what is often overlooked, untold, or misunderstood.

The Pulitzer fellowship is something I'm going to look back on as one of the most formative experiences of my life. It's motivated me to amplify voices that have gone unheard, whether in a future career in journalism or through nonprofit work.
