Sarah Chayes graduated from Harvard University in 1984 with a degree in History and the Radcliffe College History Prize for the best senior thesis written by a woman. She served in the Peace Corps in Morocco, then returned to Harvard for a master's degree in History and Middle Eastern Studies.
Chayes worked as foreign correspondent with NPR beginning in February 1997, reporting from Paris, as well as from Algeria, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, Serbia, and Bosnia. She also covered the International War Crimes Tribunal and the European Union.
