William Damon is Professor of Education at Stanford University; Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace; and Director of the Center on Adolescence at Stanford. Prior to coming to California, he was University Professor and Director of the Center for the Study of Human Development at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Damon has written widely on moral commitment at all stages of life. For the past seven years, Damon has been working on a collaborative project (with Howard Gardner and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi) aimed at fostering excellence and social responsibility in key domains of contemporary work. The domains include business, journalism, the sciences, the arts, higher education, and philanthropy. As part of this broad "Good Work" project (www.goodworkproject.org), Damon has teamed up with a group of leading journalists (the Washington-based Committee for Concerned Journalists) to create a "traveling curriculum" in journalism studies (see www.journalism .org). This training program has already brought principles of good work to hundreds of print, broadcast, and Internet newsrooms.
