Rana Sajjad is a dual-qualified lawyer (licensed in New York and Pakistan) having over 20 years’ experience of practicing law in Pakistan and the U.S. in practice areas including contracts, cross-border transactions, commercial litigation and domestic and international arbitration. Sajjad is the Founder & President of the Center for International Investment and Commercial Arbitration (CIICA), Pakistan’s first international arbitration center and a Partner at the Lahore-based law firm of Rana Ijaz & Partners. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) and an accredited mediator of the Singapore International Mediation Institute (SIMI).   Economics was my favorite subject in my O and A levels and I also majored in it in my undergraduate studies. I am an avid book reader and recently read "Doughtnut Economics" which completely transformed my perspectives on economics and it almost felt like whatever I had learned about economics in my 7 years of high school and university was not correct or even appropriate. I now believe that economics can be a force for good and an agent of change and would, therefore, like to learn more and be actively involved in some capacity to bring about change in Pakistan's economy in particular and the regional and global economy in general.

Ulfborg, Central Denmark Region, Denmark

I'm a British guy, currently living and working in Denmark. I work in a private college called DNS which is dedicated to training teachers in an alternative way, by engaging with the world around. Here I run short courses about environment, politics and teaching.  I think Doughnut Economics is a great tool for climate solutions, it can also be implemented small-scale and I'm keen to implement it where I can, including within these short courses.    

Chicago, IL

I am an Assistant Professor of Management at the University of Illinois Chicago. My research interests lie at the intersection of social movements, markets, and sustainability. I examine how activists pressure firms and industries to change their socially and environmentally detrimental practices, as well as how they support new sustainable industries. Additionally, I study how targeted firms and markets push back against this pressure, especially through the creation of corporate front groups. I teach an undergraduate course that covers topics on business and society, and I have classes that explore circular economies, closed-loop systems, and biomimicry. I have my students watch a video on doughnut economics as part of this content. My interest in the DEAL Community is in continuing to learn, accessing new content to share with my students, and hopefully in the future engaging in research, education, and advocacy that can advance this approach to economic systems.
