Biography
Johanna Römer is a lecturer in the Centre for Criminology and Department of Sociology at the University of Essex. She holds a Ph.D. in anthropology from New York University, and specializes in an anthropology of law and politics, postcolonial studies, linguistic anthropology, and studies of new media and technology. Funded by the Wenner-Gren Foundation, the Council for European Studies, the British Academy, and the Independent Foundation for Social Research, her work examines a moral politics of race and gender in legal and criminal justice contexts in the US, southern Europe and North Africa under conditions of late neoliberalism. Her current computational and ethnographic projects theorize the relationship between neoliberalism, race, and securitization within the networked media and face-to-face tech collectives that have shaped an emergent new right in the US and Europe.
