Biography

Muna Dajani is a Fellow in the Department of Geography and Environment at the London School of Economics (LSE), specializing in critical political ecology and environmental water governance through decolonial lenses. Her doctoral research examined community struggles for the rights to water and land resources in settler colonial contexts within Palestine and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, focusing particularly on farming practices that influence political subjectivity. Muna has previously served as a Senior Research Associate at the Lancaster Environment Centre, engaging in projects like 'Transformations in Groundwater Sustainability' which evaluated grassroots initiatives for holistic groundwater governance. From 2016 to 2021, she worked at the University of East Anglia’s Water Security Research Centre, where she contributed to plans for the Upper Jordan and Yarmouk river basins. Additionally, she is the lead editor of 'Untold Story' regarding the Golan Heights and has published numerous papers in journals such as Political Geography and Antipode.
