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”.

I am more than interested in expanding my writing (skills) in the rubrics of “book review essays”, “movie reviews” and academic-inspired “public policy papers”. The goal is to work against the eclipsing of “information” with “knowledge” in an age of information overflow and bring back critical academic scrutiny, yet in an accessible writing style and manner. My angle stems from a critical theory and a radical feminist perspective. In terms of methodology I am firmly rooted in what anthropologists call “researching up to power” as well as “researching home”. Please view the description of the different categories that I am interested in in the relevant sections below. If you are interested in commissioning a commentary on your/ someone else’s work, or have a special tailored request, please get in touch through the contact page with the title (i.e. “book review essay”) in your headline and some background information for me to get back to you in time.
