Sarah Thomas is an American writer living in Geneva. Her work traces the borders between motherhood and autonomy, alienation and belonging, home and elsewhere. A former journalist and educator, she has taught writing at Columbia University and works for the International Labour Organization*, a United Nations agency, where she shapes global storytelling on labour rights and social justice.
Her essays and reportage have appeared in Catapult, Al Jazeera America, HuffPost, Apogee Journal, and other publications. She writes at the intersection of the personal and the geopolitical — where questions of culture, responsibility, and connection converge. She has completed a novel, The Snowbird, and is working on an essay collection, Spilled Milk. To inquire and read the manuscripts, please contact her here.
