"Islam and Secular Sensibilities in Post-Soviet Eurasia"

Lecture by John Schoberlein at ZMO in Berlin

John Schoeberlein teaches cultural anthropology at the Nazarbayev University School of Humanities and Social Sciences and is also working to develop a research institute at NU for Eurasian regional studies. Before moving to NU, he served as Director of Harvard University’s Program on Central Asia and the Caucasus, and at various times as Visiting Professor at the American University in Central Asia (Bishkek), Tbilisi State University and the Eurasian National University (Astana). His research in Central Asia and other parts of the former Soviet Union since 1984 has focused on identity processes, cultural dimensions of conflict, national ideologies, Islam, Soviet legacies and emerging cultural orientations. He has led major analytical projects on conflict prevention in Central Asia (the UN’s Ferghana Valley Development Programme and the International Crisis Group’s Central Asia Project), and he was instrumental in founding the Central Eurasian Studies Society.
