Dr John McManus is a social anthropologist whose research looks at migration and multiculturalism in Europe and the Middle East. He is the author of Inside Qatar: Stories From One of the Richest Nations on Earth (Icon Books, 2022), shortlisted for the 2023 Orwell Prize for Political Writing, and Welcome to Hell? In Search of the Real Turkish Football (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2018). His current project, “ARAMIZDA” (an EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship), investigates how people in Berlin with ties to Turkey relate to one another, informally as well as through the organisations they build — with a particular focus on the terms used to describe these communities, both by others and by people themselves.
