Maura Ewing’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I am a Brooklyn-based writer, and a graduate student at The New School for Social Research. My academic work explores the cross-section of the social sciences and narrative nonfiction writing; an area where I believe much quality journalism lies.

Currently my research and writing is focused on criminal justice and urban poverty.
