Dr. Anne de Jong is an associate professor political anthropology at the University of Amsterdam. Her research focuses on the fascinating interplay between power and resistance within armed conflict. Prioritizing everyday and subaltern experiences, de Jong poses that power is always relational, contested, normative and ever changing and that, therefore, resistance is not a separate phenomenon but an integral part of all power relations.
De Jong’s commencing research focused particularly on the relation between civil nonviolent resistance and formations of violence and repression in Israel and Palestine. How does violent occupation shape nonviolent resistance? How do Palestinian and Israeli nonviolent activists work together despite vastly unequal power relations?
Always anchored in extensive ethnographic fieldwork, her research field expands to include racial segregation (South Africa, Bahrain) and the interplay between violent insurgency and nonviolent civil action (Nepal). De Jong finds her theoretical home in critical human right studies and the growing field of resistance studies.
Born from doing "fieldwork under fire” and teaching contentious topics for over a decade in London, Cape Town and Amsterdam, De Jong sees teaching as a valuable part of impact and committed herself to active engagement in the public debate. As such, she considers her publications on the ethics of teaching in higher education as a core part of her body of work.
