Elyse Graham is an American writer and historian.

She graduated from Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Yale University. [1] She teaches at Stony Brook University. [2] [3]

Her work was quoted in the New York Times [4] and appeared in Time magazine. [5]

In You Talkin' to Me? -The Unruly History of New York English, Graham noted the irony in the association of the New York accent with a lower level of education, given the status of New York City as a financial and cultural capital. She observed that for natives, the New York accent carries what sociolinguist Kara Becker calls “covert prestige”. [6]

In A Unified Theory of Cats on the Internet, Graham described "how japonisme, punk culture, cute culture, and the battle among different communities for the soul of the internet informed the sensibility of online felines," arguing that "internet cats offer a playful—and useful—way to understand how culture shapes and is shaped by technology." [7]

In Book and Dagger, Graham described how academics and other 'bookworms' helped the Allied cause through scholarly work instrumental to the Office of Strategic Services, the precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency: “The war may have been fought in the battlefields, but it was won in the libraries”. [8] She delved into examples including Joseph Curtiss, Adele Kibre and Sherman Kent. [9]
