Antonia Dawes works on racism, antiracism, and cultural theory. Her recent monograph, 'Race Talk' (2020), examines race and racism in Southern Italy. The forthcoming book, 'England’s Military Heartland' (2025), co-authored with Vron Ware, Mitra Pariyar, and Alice Cree, investigates the interplay between military and civilian lives, questioning how war blurs boundaries and the implications of sanctioned lethal violence. Reviews of her work indicate an urgent response to the militarised geopolitics of our times, with notable critiques regarding the extent of militarisation on civilian experiences and the quality of life in affected landscapes. Dawes's research interests prominently include antiracism, activism, social movements, cultural theory, militarisation, militarism, postcolonialism, race, ethnicity, and racial capitalism. In addition to her written contributions, she teaches several courses, including 'Power, Inequality and Social Change' and 'Race, Ethnicity and Society', while also supervising doctoral projects that align with these interests. As part of the Research Centre for Public Policy Research, she engages in interdisciplinary research aimed at generating critical analyses of social change and informing policy debates.
