Dr. Anne de Jong

About

Anne de Jong is an associate professor anthropology of conflict with a regional expertise on the Middle East (Palestine, Lebanon and Bahrain). Prioritizing subaltern everyday perspectives, her research interests center on violence/nonviolence, radical activism and social movements, human rights violations and resistance, anti-racism 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. Concurrent fieldwork was carried out in Syria and Bahrain and her ongoing research project extends to South Africa and Nepal. Emphasizing anti-racism and social justice struggles, her current work focuses on nonviolent resistance in armed conflict (Palestine), the transition between armed and unarmed struggle (Nepal) and anti-racism and anticolonial activism (South Africa and the Netherlands). Born from the necessity of doing “fieldwork under fire”, research ethics and innovative methodology have grown central to her work and are also reflected in her teachings.
