Samah Sabawi

Dr Samah Sabawi is an award-winning playwright, author and poet, born in the besieged and occupied Gaza, living and working on the stolen land of the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjerie Woi Wurrung peoples. Sabawi’s work and voice reflect those of a growing community of researchers and writers from indigenous and marginalised backgrounds, who recognise the inseparable links between western academia and knowledge production, and the ideologies and practices of colonialism.
