Author biography:
Thayer Hastings is a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York City. His dissertation explores the relationship between the bureaucratic forms of proof Palestinians produce to document their “center of life” in Jerusalem and Israel’s settler-colonial anxiety over maintaining a Jewish demographic majority in the city. The research investigates how crises of and within colonialism shape and take shape in everyday life, and the analytical openings revealed by attending to spaces of intimacy, relationships, and the home.
