Elena Dudum

Elena Dudum is a Palestinian-Syrian writer whose work explores the boundaries of generational trauma and what it means to have an identity shaped by political narratives. As a grandchild of Palestinian refugees, her working memoir hopes to untangle the notion of “homeland” and how one can connect to this amorphous idea in the diaspora. Her personal essays on Palestine have been published in The Atlantic, TIME Magazine, Bon Appétit, and Cosmopolitan Magazine among others.
