Sharon Bloyd-Peshkin

I am a Professor of Journalism at Columbia College Chicago, where I am the LAS Faculty Fellow for Civic Engagement, and the creator of Columbia Votes. I’m also an accredited Solutions Journalism trainer, a freelance writer and editor, and a public speaker on journalism and electoral engagement.

I love to create solutions and see them through, from teaching and training to civic engagement.

I team up with others to create positive change in classrooms and in the civic sphere.

I’ve written and edited stories that engage audiences through compelling narratives on a variety of topics.
