This inaugural event brought together the University community to discuss pressing issues of global governance and policy.&nbsp;</p><p>At this pivotal moment, the CGS convened voices from across campus to analyze global challenges, practice policy engagement, and generate applied outputs that contributed to scholarly and public debates. The forum offered a space for undergraduate&nbsp;and&nbsp;graduate&nbsp;students to gather, share ideas, and meet colleagues in a warm, low-stakes, and supportive setting.</p><p>With 104 total participants and representation from 50+ distinct affiliations, departments, programs, centers, and organizations, the forum exceeded the scale of a small departmental event and instead functioned as a campus-wide collaborative platform.</p><p>The <em>2026 Global Policy Forum</em> aimed to inspire robust dialogue around <em>at least</em> the following themes:</p><ul><li>Climate Resilience and Migration</li><li>AI, Data, Intelligence, and Global Security</li><li>Human Rights, Democracy, and Global Justice</li><li>Global Health and Equity</li><li>Sustainable Development, Fashion, and Enterprise</li></ul><p>Inside each dropdown below, you’ll find the details of each session, including the panel topic, presenter’s name, and their affiliations. We encourage you to explore the session recordings at your own pace to learn more about our dynamic faculty, staff, and students. We look forward to your attendance at our next forum!</p><p><a class="ilw-button ilw-theme-blue-solid" href="https://uofi.box.com/s/zdoepf014eg5f1w0ge7iq3g34bcw6jxi"><strong>Forum Programming

With this foundation, CGS is uniquely positioned to convene the University community around pressing issues of global governance and policy.</p><p>The <strong>Global Policy Forum</strong>, planned for April 14-15, 2026, will build on CGS’s mission and new initiatives such as the <strong>MS in Global Studies (MSGS)</strong>&nbsp;program, while also engaging undergraduate students in <strong>LAS Global Studies</strong>. Conceived as a <strong>student-led, faculty-guided event</strong>, the Forum will bring together voices across campus to analyze global challenges, practice policy engagement, and generate applied outputs that contribute to scholarly and public debates.</p><p><em>*The </em><a href="https://cgs.illinois.edu/initatives/cgs-global-policy-forum"><em><strong>Global Policy Forum Info Webpage</strong></em></a><em> and the </em><a href="https://cgs.illinois.edu/initatives/cgs-global-studies-policy-forum/call-presentations"><em><strong>Call for Presentation Webpage</strong></em></a><em> are now available.</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you are interested in getting more involved in organizing and contributing to this symposium, we urge you to sign up for:</p><p><a href="https://cgs.illinois.edu/glbl-499-policy-communication-practicum" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="f6d17065-946b-4f53-85f4-2a6fa0fd4a04" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="GLBL 499 - Policy Communication Practicum"><strong>GLBL 499 - Policy Communication Practicum (CRN 55131/64185)</strong></a></p><p>In GLBL 499 you will:</p><ul><li><div>Master policy research and evaluation.</div></li><li><div>Write policy briefs for issues you care about.</div></li><li><div>Gain hands-on leadership experience.</div></li><li><div>Organize the inaugural Global Policy Forum.</div></li></ul><p>The Policy Communication Practicum will empower students to benefit society through policy research, writing, and organizing. In this experiential learning practicum, students will learn to formulate policy issues, assess policy-relevant research, evaluate existing policies and programs, and communicate actionable recommendations. All students will gain hands-on leadership experience by organizing the Center for Global Studies’ inaugural Global Policy Forum, a student-led symposium that will bring together voices from across campus to analyze global challenges, practice policy engagement, and generate applied outputs for scholarly and public debates. Additionally, students enrolled for 3- or 4-credits will craft a compelling policy brief to be included in a CGS-hosted student journal, the CGS’s policy brief series, or another professional outlet for impactful scholarship. &nbsp;</p><p>Mondays 3-4pm (1-credit) or 3-6pm (3- and 4-credits)</p><p>Interdisciplinary and open to all.</p><p><a href="https://courses.illinois.edu/schedule/2026/spring/GLBL/499">Spring 2026 Schedule for GLBL 499</a></p><p>Email <a href="mailto:adrianw3@illinois.edu">adrianw3@illinois.edu</a>&nbsp;for more details.</p></ilw-content></div> <div class="field field--name-field-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Related topics</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://cgs.illinois.edu/audience_hub/graduate-students" hreflang="en">Graduate Students</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://cgs.illinois.edu/audience_hub/undergraduates" hreflang="en">Undergraduates</a></div> </div> </div> Tue, 20 Jan 2026 22:46:07 +0000 tpollack 459 at https://cgs.illinois.edu https://cgs.illinois.edu/graduate/graduate-certificates-global-studies-transcriptable <span>Graduate Certificates in Global Studies (transcriptable)</span> <span><a title="View user profile." href="https://cgs.illinois.edu/user/629">andyguth</a></span> <span><time datetime="2026-10-27T08:57:57-05:00" title="Tuesday, October 27, 2026 - 08:57">Tue, 10/27/2026 - 08:57</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden clearfix field__item"><ilw-content transparent="true" class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden clearfix field__item ilw_content"><h2><strong>Advance Your Global Expertise with Flexible Graduate Certificates</strong></h2><p>The University of Illinois offers four <strong>Foundations of Global Studies </strong>transcriptable graduate certificates designed for professionals, graduate students, and lifelong learners seeking specialized global knowledge without committing to a full degree.

beyond the House: Transformation of Life, Place, and Tradition in Rural China"</strong></p><p><strong>Time: 12:00 pm, Tuesday, Oct 20, 2026</strong><br><strong>Location: Coble 306 and&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://go.cgs.illinois.edu/WeiZhao"><strong>Zoom</strong></a></p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong> In this talk, Professor Zhao will discuss her book, Home beyond the House: Transformation of Life, Place, and Tradition in Rural China. Drawing upon 610 photographs taken by residents of Yanxia along with in-depth interviews, the book argues that the meaning of home for rural residents extends beyond the physical boundary of a house and homestead. Instead, it is rooted in cultural traditions embraced by individuals and collectively shared by the community, including kinship structure, family-based economic practices, and an evolving relationship with the land where their families had lived for generations.</p><p><strong>About the speaker:&nbsp;</strong>Wei (Windy) Zhao is an Assistant Professor in the School of Architecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she earned a doctorate degree in Architecture. Zhao’s research focuses on the relationship between people and place in everyday buildings and landscapes. Specifically, Zhao works with underrepresented social groups, such as rural residents in China and Chinese communities in the United States, to examine interconnected issues of spatial justice, cultural diversity, identity, and social sustainability within the context of globalization and urbanization.</p></dd></dl></div></div></div></div></ilw-content></div> <div class="field field--name-field-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Related topics</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://cgs.illinois.edu/audience_hub/community" hreflang="en">Community</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://cgs.illinois.edu/audience_hub/faculty-researchers" hreflang="en">Faculty &amp; Researchers</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://cgs.illinois.edu/audience_hub/graduate-students" hreflang="en">Graduate Students</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://cgs.illinois.edu/audience_hub/undergraduates" hreflang="en">Undergraduates</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://cgs.illinois.edu/keyword/event-archive" hreflang="en">Event Archive</a></div> </div> </div> Wed, 14 Oct 2026 15:36:19 +0000 shoutao2 490 at https://cgs.illinois.edu https://cgs.illinois.edu/news/2026-10-09/rana-b-khoury-prolonged-harm-and-legacies-violence <span>Rana B.

These approaches overlook prolonged harm: mundane and ongoing hardship that persists and cumulates beyond episodic violence and shapes how individuals experience change. Prof. Khoury proposes a conceptual framework that considers harm across the psychological, structural, material, and social and emotional dimensions of victims’ lives, with attention to temporal and cumulative processes. She address harm’s subtleties, endogeneity, and other inferential challenges, proposing approaches for studying harm for differing methodological orientations. To demonstrate the framework’s traction, Prof. Khoury draws on interview-based field research with Syrian refugees navigating two major, distinct events late in their displacement: natural disaster and regime change. Both activated and exposed the cumulated harm of conflict victims.</p><p><strong>About the speaker:</strong> Rana Khoury is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Previously, she was a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University’s Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance. She earned her Ph.D. in Political Science from Northwestern University and an M.A. in Arab Studies from Georgetown University.

It reviews major agreements from the 1990s to 2018-2019 and explains why each produced a freeze, but never a lasting rollback. It then discusses what has changed by 2026, including North Korea's capabilities and doctrine and the regional debate over deterrence and arms control, and considers what these changes mean for security and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia.</p></div><div><p>The program predates the crises (1956 Soviet peaceful-use deal; Yongbyon from 1962; NPT 1985; 1991 inter-Korean declaration). Two dual-use paths remain inside a civilian fuel cycle: reactor–reprocessing for plutonium and centrifuges for HEU—the core inspection problem. Six Punggye-ri tests (2006–2017) are an engineering sequence: about 1 kt to 140+ kt (2017 ~10× Hiroshima). No test since 2017 is not no program; 2018 demolitions were theatre. SIPRI (January 2026) estimates about 60 assembled warheads and material for 90+; most are likely lower-yield fission, with no public proof of an operational ICBM-mated warhead. A device without a missile is a test; a missile without a surviving re-entry vehicle is a parade. Solid-fuel ICBMs (Hwasong-18/19; Hwasong-20, October 2025) collapse pre-emption windows; KN-23-class SRBMs are the war-fighting piece versus the South.</p></div><div><p>Doctrine moved from a 2005 bargaining chip to constitutional nuclear-state status, a 2022 pre-emption law if leadership is threatened, a two-hostile-states line, and a September 2025 demand that Washington drop denuclearization as the price of talks. Motives are plural: post–Cold War shock; peninsula competition (including Seoul’s 1970s program); the “lesson market” of Iraq, Libya, and Ukraine; and a shift from shield to tool (Russia alignment). NPT double standards are real (India, Israel, stalled Article VI; New START expired 5 February 2026), as are DPRK-specific aggravators. South Korea is the other nuclear biography: 1974 alliance coercion closed a secret program; 2025–26 SSN and enrichment talks, and Asan support of 76.2% for an independent bomb, test that taboo. Three clocks run at once. Three frames follow: live with deterrence; freeze-first arms control; and, in any case, rehearse accident and unauthorized use. Capability without doctrine control cuts both ways; the regime that internationalized this problem is itself being de-internationalized.</p></div><div><p><strong>Bio: </strong>Yongsoon Kim is a visiting scholar at the Center for Global Studies. He works on the politics of Northeast Asian security and is just as interested in method: surveys, public opinion, and how we actually know what we think we know about the Peninsula. Beyond traditional security, he has a strong interest in non-traditional security, which has been the focus of his recent research and teaching. He teaches contemporary global issues, research methods, and the international politics of the Korean Peninsula. His recent work includes an SSCI article on Xi Jinping’s North Korea policy, research on inter-Korean energy cooperation as a security issue, middle-power strategy in a tightening regional order, and Pyongyang’s bargaining strategies. He translated Victor Cha’s The Impossible State into Korean and has spent years on policy projects with the Ministry of Unification and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is currently a visiting professor at Yonsei GSIS and a senior research fellow at the Center for North Korean Studies, Yonsei Institute for Sinology.&nbsp;</p></div></ilw-content></div> <div class="field field--name-field-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Related topics</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://cgs.illinois.edu/audience_hub/faculty-researchers" hreflang="en">Faculty &amp; Researchers</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://cgs.illinois.edu/audience_hub/graduate-students" hreflang="en">Graduate Students</a></div> </div> </div> Mon, 28 Sep 2026 21:30:22 +0000 tpollack 487 at https://cgs.illinois.edu https://cgs.illinois.edu/news/2026-10-05/cgs-and-las-global-studies-2026-fall-reception <span>CGS and LAS Global Studies 2026 Fall Reception</span> <span><a title="View user profile." href="https://cgs.illinois.edu/user/642">shoutao2</a></span> <span><time datetime="2026-09-26T14:56:39-05:00" title="Saturday, September 26, 2026 - 14:56">Sat, 09/26/2026 - 14:56</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-if-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item">October 5, 2026</div> <div class="field field--name-field-if-meda-featured-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"><div class="media media--type-image media--view-mode-news-featured-image"> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Image</div> <div class="field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="https://cgs.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/news_featured_image/public/2026-09/Fall%202026%20Reception.png.webp?itok=gs5Luw8W" width="773" height="1000" alt="Fall 2026 Reception"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden clearfix field__item"><ilw-content transparent="true" class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden clearfix field__item ilw_content"><p><strong>Time: Wed, October 7, 4:00 - 6:00 pm</strong><br><strong>Location: Levis Faculty Center, Room 210</strong></p><p>The Center for Global Studies (CGS) and LAS Global Studies cordially invite you to our&nbsp;<a href="https://calendars.illinois.edu/detail/732?eventId=33563848">2026 Fall Reception</a>!
