Adam Harris is an award-winning journalist and author. He writes across books, essays and poems about history, politics, education, and the American South. He is currently a podcast host at The Atlantic and a nonresident senior fellow at New America. His first book, The State Must Provide: Why America’s Colleges Have Always Been Unequal—and How to Set Them Right (Ecco, 2021), traced the history of racial inequality in American higher education and was named one of NPR’s Best Books of the Year, earning praise from The New York Times, Bloomberg, and The Chicago Tribune, among others. His second book, Is This America? (Pantheon, forthcoming), is a narrative history of the South’s role in shaping national politics — how the region has repeatedly defined the trajectory of the nation, both through its contradictions and its possibilities. He was previously a reporter at the Chronicle of Higher Education, focusing on federal education policy and historically black colleges, and the social editor at ProPublica. He served as the 2022-2023 writer-in-residence at North Carolina A&T University. In 2021, Adam was a National Fellow at New America and was named to that year's Forbes "30 Under 30" list.
