USC Off the Beaten Path: The Search for Spirituality

Chantal Allan

I hail north of the 49th parallel and graduated from Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada with a Bachelor of Journalism and Law in 2001. I then spent the following several years traveling and working for CBC Radio.

After "feeding the goat" through daily deadlines, I headed back to school and recently completed my Master of Arts in broadcast journalism at USC.

Before plunging headlong into daily news again at NPR's national show, Day to Day, the News21 fellowship gives me the opportunity to delve into one of the most underreported beats in journalism, that of religion and spirituality in America. It also lets me do something I truly enjoy -- listening to people and telling their stories!
