Biography

Jan Stefan Tarnowski is an anthropologist specializing in media anthropology, political theory, and postcolonial studies, with a particular focus on the aftermaths of the 2010-11 Arab Revolutions. He obtained his doctorate from Columbia University's Department of Anthropology, where he also engaged with the Institute of Comparative Literature and Society. His thesis, titled "Struggling Images: Revolution, War Media Syria", explores the intricate relationship between media representations and sociopolitical dynamics in post-revolution contexts. As of October 2022, he was admitted as an Early-Career Research Fellow at Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge, while being affiliated with the Department of Social Anthropology. In March 2023, he took on the role of postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen for the 'Views Violence' project, which analyzes the capabilities and challenges of using user-generated content as evidence in international criminal courts, particularly in the context of Syria. His research combines technical, legal, political, and theoretical dimensions, aiming to overcome hurdles in assembling legally sufficient evidence using digital forensic methods.
