Sophia Stamatopoulou-Robbins is an assistant professor of anthropology at Bard College. Her first book, Waste Siege: The Life of Infrastructure in Palestine (Stanford University Press, 2019), explores what happens when waste is transformed into matter with no place to go. Her new book project investigates how Airbnb is transforming the relationship between subjectivity, property, and work in Greece. She thanks participants in the 2019 New Directions in Palestinian Studies workshop at Brown University for comments on an earlier draft of this paper, and Beshara Doumani and Alex Winder for the invitation to contribute. Amahl Bishara, Jessica Barnes, Kali Rubaii, and Caterina Scaramelli offered insights that made this better version possible.
