Joseph Daher

Joseph Daher is a Swiss-Syrian political scientist and lecturer known for his expertise in Middle Eastern studies. With over twelve years of teaching at the University of Lausanne, Daher has been involved in various academic and activist circles. His recent participation in a pro-Palestinian demonstration at the university led to controversy when he lent his access badge to an activist, resulting in the university's decision not to renew his teaching contract. Daher claims that the actions against him are politically motivated, citing his numerous publications and lectures on the topic. He is also associated with the University of Ghent in Belgium and the European University Institute in Florence.
