Hannah Epstein

I am a freelance reporter focused on peace processes, human rights, and the politics of memory in post-conflict nations. A recent graduate of Bryn Mawr College, I’ve written for the Nation, the Dispatch, the Detail, and the Baltimore Sun, among other outlets. While getting my undergraduate degree in International Studies, I served as co-Editor in Chief of our student-run newspaper, the Bi-College News, receiving national recognition by the Student Press Law Center, the Education Writers Association, and the Society of Professional Journalists for my investigations into administrative malpractice. I was recently awarded the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, and have since begun a research project focused on local news initiatives in post-conflict countries. Over the course of the next year, I’ll be traveling to Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia, where I’ll connect with local newsrooms and journalists. I regularly publish my journalism on my Substack page, The Divide.
