Elisabeth Stewart is a Princeton RISE Fellow at the Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT), based in the Bogotá office. She is a fourth-year student at Princeton University pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Portuguese, with minors in History and Latin American Studies.
Her areas of interest include immigration and migration in Latin America and the United States, as well as community-based solutions to conflict and injustice. Last summer, she served as a legal assistant in the immigration unit of the New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG), where she supported asylum seekers navigating immigration court proceedings in New York City amid a changing immigration landscape. She also volunteers as an interpreter with Solidaridad Central Jersey, assisting asylum seekers in preparing applications for relief. At Princeton, she has contributed to research projects examining media portrayals of social and political violence in the broader Latin American region.
She hopes to attend graduate or law school and continue working in spaces dedicated to community-based solutions to injustice.
