Emily Tamkin
Hello! My name, as you can see in the very large block of text above, is Emily Tamkin.
I am a journalist in Washington, DC.
My work has appeared in the Boston Globe, Columbia Journalism Review, the New Republic, Politico, Slate, and the Washington Post, among other publications. Previously, I covered foreign affairs as a staff writer at Foreign Policy and BuzzFeed News and US politics, foreign policy, and society at the New Statesman. I was in New Delhi, India on a Council on Foreign Relations International Affairs Fellowship.
I am the co-host of The Election Tricycle, a new podcast on the elections of 2024 in India, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
I am also the author of The Influence of Soros: Politics, Power, and the Struggle for an Open Society, published by Harper Books, an imprint of Harper Collins, in July 2020, and Bad Jews: A History of American Jewish Politics and Identities, published by Harper Books in October 2022.
If any of that is of interest to you, please do get in touch.
I also have a Substack, which I update more regularly than I do this website.
I speak Russian, German, and some French, Georgian, and Yiddish.
