Stephanie Tam
Stephanie Tam is head of audio at Behavioral Scientist, and a writer and radio journalist. Born in New York, she now lives in Norwich, England—a medieval city with hipster vibes—where she runs a community art group for well-being.
Her writing has been published in The Believer, Slate, and Hinterland, among others; and won, shortlisted, or nominated for various awards, including Harper's Bazaar Short Story Competition, Fitzcarraldo Editions Essay Prize, and Pushcart Prize.
As an audiophile, she's worked for various radio shows and media outlets, including Radiolab, Freakonomics, WNYC Studios, and First Look Media. She's also an independent reporter for BBC World Service.
Before writing and radio, she pursued her curiosity through two master's in world literatures and evidence-based social intervention and policy evaluation at the University of Oxford. She researched mental health in refugee children.
