Elizabeth Stone

Elizabeth Stone, an award-winning essayist and journalist, is the author of many articles and four books. Her profiles, op-eds, think pieces, personal essays and reporting have appeared in well-known national periodicals, including The New York Times and The Atlantic.

She is an English professor at Fordham University teaching literature, journalism and creative writing—especially memoir and op-eds. Her literature specialties are modern autobiography and the literature of immigration. The recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship, Elizabeth has taught creative writing internationally and at the University of Iowa’s Summer Writing Festival.

Interest in her work has led to guest appearances on NPR, PBS and yes, even Fox News. Elizabeth grew up in Brooklyn (attending the same high school as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Chuck Schumer, and Bernie Sanders, though not at the same time). She lives on the Upper West Side.
