Yasmeen Daher is a Palestinian political philosopher, feminist writer, and community organizer whose work bridges philosophical inquiry with political practice, particularly in relation to Palestinian liberation, decolonization, and feminist struggles. Based in Berlin, she is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Potsdam’s International Research Group on Authoritarianism and Counter-Strategies.

Her doctoral dissertation, The Art of Living Together: On Political Engagement and the Ethics of Companionship (University of Montreal), explores how political participation reshapes ethical and interpersonal relations, establishing her broader commitment to thinking politics and ethics as inseparable domains, and to approaching political activism and philosophical reflection as mutually constitutive.

Her current research focuses on the concept of solidarity, tracing its historical transformations and examining its contemporary limits and possibilities in moments of crisis. Taking Palestine as a central analytical prism, her work investigates how solidarity is reconfigured across feminist, antiracist, and transnational movements, and how political commitment can be sustained beyond alignment, representation, or moral witnessing.

Alongside her academic work, Daher engages in public and intellectual interventions across Europe and the Arab world, contributing to debates on authoritarianism, political responsibility, and the conditions of collective struggle. Her writing and speaking seek to connect philosophical reflection with lived political realities, foregrounding questions of dignity, resistance, and shared futures.
