Teaching the Costs of War

In Spring 2020, the Public Anthropology Clinic at American University partnered with Brown University’s Costs of War Project to help produce publicly useful scholarship about some of the human damage caused by the United States' Post-9/11 Wars.

The New York Times and others have reported about our calculation that the U.S. Post-9/11 Wars have displaced at least 38 million people and possibly as many as 60 million since 2001.

A 2021 update to our calculations can be found here.

2021 UPDATE: 38 million people displaced.
