Sami Kishawi is a Palestinian-American student and citizen journalist at the University of Chicago. He is an active member of various local and national grassroots movements dedicated to preserving the rights of the Palestinian people. He is currently pursuing a career in the health sciences and hopes to one day find the intersect between medicine and politics in Gaza City, his family’s hometown.
Sami’s writing and photography has been featured on Electronic Intifada, Mondoweiss, KABOBfest, Islamic Horizons, and a small collection of related outlets. This blog serves to promote the Palestinian identity and to trace his own political understanding and development.
In 2011, American Friends Service Committee awarded him with the organization’s annual Inspiration for Hope Award.
