Yoni Appelbaum Explained
Yoni Appelbaum, an American historian and journalist, is Senior Editor for politics at The Atlantic.[1] [2] Appelbaum was previously a columnist for the publication.[3]
Early life and education
Appelbaum is the son of Diana Muir Karter and Dr. Paul S. Appelbaum. He was born in 1979 or 1980.[4] He has two siblings: Binyamin Appelbaum and Avigail Appelbaum.[5] His grandfather is nuclear engineer Peter Karter. His aunt is entrepreneur Trish Karter. He was raised in Newton, Massachusetts[6] and is a graduate of the Maimonides School in Brookline, Massachusetts.[7] Appelbaum holds an A.B., magna cum laude, from Columbia University (2003), and a Ph.D. in history from Brandeis University (2014).[8]
Career
Before moving to The Atlantic, Appelbaum taught at Harvard University.[1] Appelbaum's academic work focused on what he has jokingly called the, "guilded age," the associative republicanism of the late 19th century, an era when mass-membership organizations like the Knights of Pythias, Chicago Lumber Exchange, and the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union were central to national politics.[9]
In the March 2019 issue of The Atlantic, Appelbaum wrote a long-form article making the case for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.[10] [11] According to Margaret Sullivan writing in The Washington Post, Appelbaum's essay is the article that "moved... impeachment, all-but-taboo in Big Media’s coverage of Trump,...., from the margins into the mainstream — across the journalism spectrum."[12]
Personal life
In 2004, Appelbaum married Emily Pressman of Wilmington, Delaware, in a Jewish ceremony at Columbia University. They had been dating since they were in college, and Pressman is one year younger than Appelbaum.[13] They have two children.[14]
