November 19, Thursday, Time TBD, Social Sciences room 311, Political Theory Workshop, Nader Hashemi, International Studies, University of Denver: "Where Bernard Lewis Went Wrong: Rethinking Secularism Across the Islam-West Divide"; Nader Hashemi is an Assistant Professor of Middle East and Islamic Politics, Josef Korbel School of International Studies, at the University of Denver. In his latest work, he challenges the widely held belief among social scientists that religious politics and liberal-democratic development are structurally incompatible. While there are certainly tensions between religion and democracy, the two are not irreconcilable. His research interests include: Middle East and Islamic affairs, religion and democracy, secularism, comparative politics and political theory, politics of the Middle East, democracy and human rights, Islam-West relations.
