Lisa Taraki is a Palestinian journalist, teacher and sociologist. She is associate professor of sociology at Birzeit University in the West Bank.[1] Taraki is the co-founder of Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, a campaign that advocates for academic and cultural boycotts of Israel until it stops what the campaign sees as violations of the Palestinians' human rights.[2]
