Isabelle Laurenzi, Ph.D.

About

Welcome! I am a writer, scholar, teacher, and editor. 

I received my Ph.D. in political theory from Yale University and my A.B. (summa cum laude) in religious studies and creative writing from Princeton University. In 2023, I was awarded the Charlotte W. Newcombe Fellowship, "
the largest and most prestigious award for Ph.D. candidates in the humanities and social sciences addressing questions of ethical and religious values in interesting, original, or significant ways." I am currently writing a book about politics, intimacy, and the ordinary ways people seek change in their lives. 

As an editor and writing tutor, I work with a wide range of clients. I have been an assistant editor for The Yale Review, and I have fact-checked and reviewed manuscripts for renowned writers publishing their second and third books with trade presses. I have ushered high school students through the college essay-writing process and assisted young professionals applying to top-ranking MBA programs. And I have spent nearly a decade teaching writing to college students in university writing centers, where I also trained undergraduates to become writing tutors. 

I taught English to tenth and twelfth graders at the Riverdale Country School in the Bronx, NY. I have also led discussion sections for undergraduate lecture courses in both political science and gender studies as a Teaching Fellow at Yale.
