Steven’s anthropological research is based in Israel/Palestine where he lived in West Jerusalem for three years and in Ramallah for four months. His general research interest is concerned with understanding national narratives in Israel and Palestine – that is, how Palestinians and Israelis tell different stories about historical and contemporary events, especially as they are presented in the Israeli and Palestinian media. Most recently, Dr. Rousso-Schindler has been writing about how population politics in Israel is constructed by the Israeli media.
