Public Lecture and Q&A with Areej Sabbagh-Khoury: "Against Dispossession: Palestinian Citizens in Israel and Settler-Colonial Citizenship"
March 10
6:15–8:00 p.m.
Erb Memorial Union (EMU) Redwood Auditorium

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 Global Justice Program Presents: "Israel: What Went Wrong?"
April 13

Ford Alumni Center Lee Barlow Giustina Ballroom

Please join the Global Justice Program for a lecture on "Israel: What Went Wrong?" by Omer Bartov, an Israeli-American scholar and Dean’s Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University.

This lecture will provide a gist of Bartov's forthcoming book, Israel: What Went Wrong?, to be published in April 2026. The book explores the tragic transformation of Zionism, a movement that sought to emancipate European Jewry from oppression, into a state ideology of ethno-nationalism. How is it possible that a state founded in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust, an event that gave legitimacy to a national home for the Jews, stands credibly accused of perpetrating large-scale war crimes? How do we come to terms with the fact that Israel’s war of destruction is being conducted with the support, laced with denial and indifference, of so many of its Jewish citizens? Tracing the roots of the violent events currently unfolding in Israel and the occupied territories, the book tracks Israel’s moral tribulations and considers the origins of Zionism; the intertwining of its independence with Palestinian displacement; the politics of the Holocaust; controversies over the term "genocide"; and the uncertain future. 

Bartov is an Israeli-American scholar and Dean’s Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University. He has written widely on war crimes, interethnic relations, and genocide. Recent books, published in multiple languages, include Anatomy of a Genocide: The Life and Death of a Town Called Buczacz (2018), which won the National Jewish Book Award, and Genocide, the Holocaust and Israel-Palestine: First-Person History in Times of Crisis (2023), named Choice 2024 Outstanding Academic Title. Bartov’s essays and commentaries have been widely featured in national and international magazines and media outlets. His new book, Israel: What Went Wrong? will be published in April 2026 by FSG in the US and Penguin/Random Books in the UK.
