Zeynep Oguz, Lecturer in Anthropology of Development, School of Social and Political Science

I am interested in how political projects —repressive and liberatory— conspire with earthly forces; and I examine these interactions (or “political geologies”) in the context of fossil fuel extraction, energy transitions, insurgency and counter-insurgency, nationalism, and lately, right-wing and climate movements. I have worked on these topics in Turkey, Cyprus, and the US. My work is in dialogue with political and environmental anthropology, and at the same time, is in conversation with political geography, geophilosophy, political theory, and political ecology. I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary approaches around the critical study of fossil fuel politics, energy transitions, state violence, counter-insurgency, territorial politics, histories of violence, and energy futures.
