ABOUT
Dr. Anne de Jong is an assistant professor Anthropology of Conflict with a region expertise on the Middle East (Palestine, Lebanon and Bahrain). Prioritizing subaltern everyday perspectives, her research interest center on violence - nonviolence, radical activism and social movements, human rights, oppression and resistance, queer action and anti-colonial struggles.
For her PhD (2011, SOAS) she conducted a 19 month fieldwork research in the Occupied Palestinian Territories including East-Jerusalem and Gaza. She currently works on 1) human rights defenders and resistance in Bahrain, 2) on the intersectionality of anti-racism and anti-colonial struggles, and 3) on radical joint Palestinian and Israeli activism and resistance.
Born from the necessity of doing "fieldwork under fire", research ethics and innovative methodology has grown central to her work (De Jong, 2011; 2015) which is also reflected in her teachings.
