Her national awards include the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award and the Unity Award for Public Affairs/Social Issues reporting. Ellis co-edited the book/CD sets Say it Plain and Say it Loud, along with the oral history anthology After the Fall: New Yorkers Remember September 2001 and the Years that Followed. She holds a Ph.D. in anthropology from Columbia University, an M.A. in sociology from Emory University, and a B.A. from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
