Anna Younes (she/her) is an independent scholar focusing on settler colonial and colonial studies, Race Critical Theories, and psychoanalysis in Europe and currently also in the Dutch Caribbean. Her PhD focused on what she coined the "War on Antisemitism" in her 2015 PhD dissertation, a counterinsurgency war in the footsteps of the War on Drugs and War on Terror. Younes is the recipient of the Emma Goldman Award for her contribution to feminist and social justice scholarship in Europe, has curated Palestinian art and has extensively written about anti-Palestinian repression in Germany. She co-authored a prized documentary on War Journalism, worked as a lay-judge at Berlin's Juvenile Court, and wrote a YouTube series on "Decolonizing the Development and Humanitarian Sector". Younes defines her work through the (anthropological) concept of “researching home” and “researching up to power”. Anna founded and organized the Colloquium of Color in Berlin for several years. Her academic, journalistic and policy work can be found on academia.edu or on this website under “publications” and “consultancies”.
