Lily Casura, MSW is a public scholar whose work sits at the intersection of research, journalism, and data. She investigates the issues that shape vulnerable communities — women veterans experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, poverty, wage equity, and the demographics of inequality — and translates that work into forms that reach both academic audiences and the general public.
Her journalism has appeared in The Huffington Post, The Texas Tribune, the San Antonio Express-News, The Rivard Report, and elsewhere. Her academic work has been published in the Journal of Military, Veteran and Family Health and in edited volumes from Oxford University Press and Springer Nature.
She is a Harvard honors graduate, holds a Master's in Social Work from UT San Antonio, and is an inaugural grantee of the International Women's Media Foundation's Howard G. Buffett Fund for Women Journalists.
