This symposium brings together scholars from the US, Singapore, and China to examine the evolving pathways of sustainable development in China. Focusing on the intersections of economic transformation, environmental governance, and social equity, it aims to foster critical dialogue on how sustainability is conceptualized, implemented, and contested across different regions and sectors. Through presentations and discussions, participants will reflect on China’s experiences in addressing climate change, urbanization, and development challenges, while situating them within broader global debates on sustainable development.

Citizenship is often imagined as a gateway to rights, recognition, and belonging. But what happens when citizenship itself becomes a mechanism of dispossession?
In her public lecture, award-winning sociologist Areej Sabbagh-Khoury explores the paradox of citizenship in settler-colonial contexts. Focusing on Palestinian citizens in Israel – especially those internally displaced yet denied return to their original homes – she examines how citizenship can grant formal rights while reinforcing dispossession of land, resources, and political power. At the same time, the talk highlights how Palestinian citizens of Israel have used citizenship itself as a tool of political struggle, challenging inequality and reclaiming collective history.
Iftar dinner will be provided. This event is sponsored and funded by UO’s Global Justice Program.
Sabbagh-Khoury is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, and a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Her research interests include political and historical sociology, settler colonialism, indigenous studies, and memory. She is the author of the award-winning monograph Colonizing Palestine: The Zionist Left and the Making of the Palestinian Nakba (Stanford University Press, 2023), a pioneering sociological study of settler colonialism in Palestine.

The Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies (CLLAS) is pleased to host a research colloquium featuring two CLLAS-funded scholars whose work examines how institutions shape Latiné experiences of equity, belonging, and representation across educational and workplace settings.
- Janette Avelar is a PhD candidate in Quantitative Research Methods in Education at the UO. Her research examines how innovative K–12 schools serving predominantly Latinx student populations design learning environments that center equity, cultural identity, and student belonging, particularly in the context of growing political pressures shaping educational policy and practice.
- Dr. Chanel Meyers is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the UO whose research explores how Latiné individuals evaluate corporate workplaces. Her work investigates how diversity signals, demographic representation, and organizational messaging influence perceptions of belonging, trust, and interest in potential workplaces.
Together, these scholars explore how institutional design choices in schools and organizations shape Latiné experiences of inclusion, representation, and opportunity. Please join us for this engaging discussion on equity across educational and workplace environments.
This event is presented by the Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies (CLLAS) with support from UO’s Division of Equity and Inclusion.
