She currently works as an independent consultant for CMC (Cait McMahon Consulting) and was the founding Managing Director of the Dart Centre Asia Pacific (2003-2021) affiliated with the Dart Center for Journalism & Trauma at Columbia University, Graduate School of Journalism. In that role she facilitated in-person training with media professionals across 28 nations, many of those in high natural disaster, conflict or post-conflict countries. She continues to consult to individuals and media organisations on trauma exposure and resilience.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u25c7 About the lecture<\/strong><\/p>\n What should journalists know when listening to people involved in disasters such as earthquakes and torrential rains, war, conflict, incidents and accidents, or when interviewing victims of sexual violence, abuse, etc.? Australian psychologist Dr. Cait McMahon will lecture on these topics.<\/p>\n She is the founder of the Asia Pacific regional office (Melbourne) of the international organization Dart Center for Journalism & Trauma (headquartered at Columbia University, USA), which she managed until 2021. She began working as a staff counselor for The Age newspaper in Melbourne in the 1980s, and since then her interest in journalists and trauma (deep psychological trauma) issues led her to research, giving lectures and trainings in various countries. In 2016, she was awarded the Order of Australia (OAM) for her contributions in this field.<\/p>\n Journalists who face trauma in their reporting of tragedies and other events are themselves affected. Her research with Australian journalists has shown that not only are they affected mentally and physically, but also existentially, by questioning the meaning of their work, and that there is not only posttraumatic stress, but also posttraumatic growth. All those involved in news reporting, training and health care in media organizations, and interested professionals are welcome to attend.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u25c7 Organizer<\/strong><\/p>\n Study group on Trauma Reporting, B\u2019AI Global Forum, Institute for AI and Beyond, The University of Tokyo<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u25c7 Inquiry<\/strong><\/p>\n Kyoko Takeuchi (Project Assistant Professor of the B\u2019AI Global Forum) <\/p>\n Note: As of November 2025, Dart Centre Asia Pacific has been renamed the Centre for Journalism and Trauma Asia Pacific (https:\/\/journalismandtrauma.org\/<\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n Additionally, as of August 2025, the Dart Center for Journalism & Trauma has become the Global Center for Journalism & Trauma (https:\/\/gcjt.org\/<\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The B\u2019AI Global Forum will hold a talk by D<\/p>\n
