Description

The death toll from the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria has now topped

50,00 people, and the humanitarian aid response has been unbelievably fractured. This is staggering.

How could such a catastrophe occur???

Our guests on this week's episode of Samanthropolitics will help us dive into the myriad of reasons - politics, terrorist groups, corruption, gender inequality, economics, ethnic discrimination, and beyond.

What exactly happened that made things so bad? What will it take to rebuild the countries and people's lives? And how can you help?

Special Guests:

Professor Sebnem Kalemli-Ozcan - Turkish economist, University of Maryland

Professor Seyla Benhabib - Turkish political scientist, Yale University
