Legacies of War in Iraq with Kali Rubaii

Professor Kali Rubaii (Anthropology at Purdue University)’s groundbreaking research focuses on displacement, war-impacted ecologies, and environmental health justice. Through forensic ethnography, Dr. Rubaii’s work bears witness to the violent material impact of extractive industry and war on people’s lives. She is working with a team of doctors, epidemiologists, and environmental activists to document the links between birth anomalies and military environmental damage in Fallujah, Iraq. She is also researching concrete production in post-invasion Iraq as it enforces global regimes of class and citizenship. For more details, visit kalirubaii.com.
