Liyana Kayali is a lecturer at the Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies at the Australian National University (ANU).

She has also held a research associate role at the Centre for Gender Studies within the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London.

Palestinian Women and Popular Resistance explores Palestinian women’s views of popular resistance in the West Bank and examines factors shaping the nature and extent of their involvement. Despite the signing of the Oslo peace accords in 1993 and 1995, the Occupied Palestinian Territories in the contemporary period have experienced tightened Israeli occupational control and worsening political, humanitarian, security, and economic conditions.
