In this video, published exclusively in German on our channel, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald examines two recent studies published by the Ivy League research university Brown University on the Gaza conflict. The first study, co-authored by American political scientist William Hartung, examines the role of the United States and financial support for Israel’s military operations, particularly in the Gaza Strip. The second study, co-authored by anthropologist Sophia Stamatopoulou-Robbins, looks at the devastating impact of the conflict in Gaza on people, considering not only the direct deaths caused by violence, but also the widespread indirect deaths caused by infrastructure destruction, economic collapse, food insecurity, and the collapse of the health system.

This video was produced by System Update and published on the Glenn Greenwald YouTube channel on the 15th of October, 2024.

ABOUT SOPHIA STAMATOPOULOU-ROBBINS

PhD, Columbia University, 2015. Professor Stamatopoulou-Robbins is an anthropologist with research interests in infrastructure, waste, environment, platform capitalism, and the home. Her first book, Waste Siege: The Life of Infrastructure in Palestine (Stanford University Press, 2019), has won five major book awards and explores what happens when, as Palestinians are increasingly forced into proximity with their own wastes and with those of their occupiers, waste is transformed from “matter out of place,” per prevailing anthropological wisdom, into matter with no place to go—or its own ecology. Her current book, Controlled Alienation: Airbnb and the Future of Home (under contract with Duke University Press), explores the joint world-making of austerity and home-sharing in Greece. Other publications include pieces in Environment and Planning E, International Journal of Middle East Studies, Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East, Arab Studies Journal, The Jerusalem Quarterly, Anthropology News, Thresholds, and The New Centennial Review. Her film Waste Underground (with videographer Ali al-Deek) premiered at the Sharjah Biennial in Ramallah in 2017. She serves on the editorial teams of Cultural Anthropology and MERIP. Her research has been awarded funding by the National Science Foundation, Social Science Research Council, Wenner Gren Foundation, Columbia University, and the Palestinian American Research Council. At Bard since 2013.
