Jamelle Bouie

Who is Jamelle Bouie?

I am a staff writer at The American Prospect magazine, a contributor to the Washington Post, a columnist at The Daily Beast, and a former Knobler Fellow at The Nation Institute. I'm based in Washington D.C.

My main body of work centers on campaigns, elections, and public policy. From time to time, I also dabble in movies, comic books, cultural commentary, and photography. In addition to the previously mentioned publications, my work has appeared in The Globe and Mail, The Nation, The Atlantic, the Washington Post, CNN.com, True/Slant and The Loop 21.

I graduated from the University of Virginia, where I received an interdisciplinary degree in political and social thought, as well as a degree in government. My roots are in the South, and I was raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia by two parents who served in the armed forces.

You can find me on Twitter as jbouie. I'm also on Instagram and Flickr.

I used to use this site for linkblogging, but I've decided to move that over to my Tumblr. Check it out. If you're looking for a post from the old linkblog, you can go through the archives.
