PSC 117 - (CC) Religion and Politics in TurkeySemester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course focuses on religious and political identities and
institutions in Turkey as they have been formulated and contested
throughout the late Ottoman Empire and Republican Turkey. We will study
the religious history and the role of Islam as a cultural, societal and
political force. Combining historical, sociological, and
anthropological perspectives, the course aims to create a comprehensive
picture of modern Turkey that allows for a deeper understanding of the
country’s ambivalent relationship to its Ottoman past, the Western
world, and the public role of Islam.
