Coleman Hughes Joins Manhattan Institute

NEW YORK, NY — The Manhattan Institute is pleased to announce that writer and public intellectual, Coleman Hughes, has joined the Institute as a fellow and contributing editor of its City Journal magazine. 

Hughes’s work and writing at the Manhattan Institute and City Journal will focus on race, public policy, and applied ethics.

A recent Columbia University graduate, Hughes is known for his writing in City Journal, National Review, the New York Times, Quillette, The Spectator, and the Wall Street Journal. He has been called “one of the most compelling and promising voices on the political landscape” by Interview magazine, has testified before Congress on the issue of reparations, and is a supporter of the 1776 Project, a bipartisan response to the New York Times’s 1619 Project. 

“A champion of free expression and the rights of the individual, Coleman Hughes brings a rare thoughtfulness to the cultural and political controversies of the moment, which has allowed him to build an audience of intellectually serious readers from across the ideological spectrum,” said Reihan Salam, president of the Manhattan Institute. “We are honored and delighted that Coleman Hughes is joining the Manhattan Institute, and look forward to working with him to advance our shared ideals.”  

“I’m thrilled to be joining the Manhattan Institute and City Journal––which I have been reading with great pleasure for years,” said Coleman Hughes.

“Coleman has emerged as one of the sharpest young voices on race and identity politics. He writes with force, intelligence, and imagination, and we are thrilled to have him join the magazine as a contributing editor,” said City Journal editor Brian Anderson.

Hughes started at the Manhattan Institute on May 15th and his first City Journal article as a contributing editor, was published on May 25th.
