Jonneke Koomen

I teach and write about people who try to change the world. More specifically, I research how people practice anticolonialism, transnational solidarities, and subversive knowledge-making. I collaborate with many people to learn about social movements and world politics. My goal is to support working-class, incarcerated, and other underrepresented students as they share their knowledge and visions for a better world. With students, I learn from abolitionist, Indigenous, Black, de/anticolonial, and transnational feminist thought/practice. I currently teach courses on sociology, international politics, human rights, transnational feminism, student activism, Black internationalism, social research, and transformative justice (in collaboration with incarcerated people at a maximum security prison).
