Dr. Franklin is currently a core faculty for Naropa University’s Transpersonal Counseling Psychology Department and Director of Naropa’s Graduate Art Therapy Program in Boulder, Colorado."

"In recognition that schools need to provide professional and personal counselling services, as part of the Bhutanese education curriculum, the education ministry will begin placing full time counsellors in major schools starting September...the challenge to provide solid professional counselling will receive help with the royal university of Bhutan (RUB) introducing a post graduate counselling course this winter...three Naropa professors and four Bhutanese counsellors will team-teach the course."

Allyson Behnke: "This past weekend Anne Waldman came to Washington, DC to celebrate the National Gallery of Art’s exhibition of 'Beat Memories: The Photographs of Allen Ginsberg' (on view in the West Building through September 16), and to perform Allen Ginsberg’s historic and culturally iconic poem 'Howl'...I was lucky enough to tag along with her on a tour of Allen Ginsberg’s exhibit led by Sarah Greenough, senior curator and head of the department of photographs at the National Gallery of Art, on Friday morning. Later, Saturday afternoon, I had the pleasure of interviewing her."

Washington Post: "55 years after the fact, culture still cries out for Allen Ginsberg's 'Howl.'"
