About Deniz Yonucu
I am a senior lecturer (associate professor) in the School of Geography, Politics, and Sociology at Newcastle University, UK. I received my Ph.D. in Social Anthropology from Cornell University. My research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of anthropology, political theory, law & society studies, and urban studies. More specifically, my work focuses on counterinsurgency and policing, surveillance, class, racism, resistance, world building and abolitionist practices of the oppressed, coloniality and memory. My first book, Police, Provocation, Politics Counterinsurgency in Istanbul Cornell University Press, 2022) is the winner of the 2023 Anthony Leeds Prize for the best book in urban anthropology. My work has appeared in various peer-reviewed journals, including Current Anthropology, Race & Class, IJURR, Social and Legal Studies, the British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies and Berkeley Journal of Sociology.NBN Episodes hosted by Deniz:
