      <image:caption>“Thibault’s interdisciplinary approach, rooted in political ethnography, offers an anthropological lens that helps illuminate the intersections of Islam and state-building practices through a select number of Tajik informants whose lives have been directly impacted by official state responses to the “religious revival” that began in the wake of the fall of the Soviet Union. This approach is a welcome respite from analyses of the region that approach Islam and governance using political science and a top-down approach centered on state institutions and their fears of radicalism as opposed to individual actors and diverse displays of piety.” Emily O’Dell, Yale University———————————— A roundtable discussion about the book is available in Central Asian Affairs. Reviews in Open Democracy by E. Lemon and in Politics, Religion, and Ideology by L. Direnberger.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Teaching - Intro to Comparative Politics</image:title>
      <image:caption>This course introduces students to the field of Comparative Politics. In this course we will explore competing theories and arguments that explain political dynamics in modern societies; including democratization, social movements, political violence, etc. In addition we will analyze and employ the comparative method. To achieve this we will study theories, use case studies, examine real-world data and explore important political developments in different regions of the world. Special emphasis will be paid to various modes of governance and the importance of political institutions. However, this course challenges students to give equal consideration to the role of non-state actors and broader social and economic institutions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Teaching - Islam and Politics in Eurasia</image:title>

It also examines the challenges associated with the study of Islam in a post-Communist context, and in particular, the legacy of atheism. Islam will be viewed in light of its relationships with gender issues, state-building, nationalism and political mobilization, and radicalization. Students will be familiarized with the specific politico-religious situation in the Balkans, Turkey, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Teaching - Graduate Seminar in Comparative Politics</image:title>
      <image:caption>This course introduces graduate students to the field of Comparative Politics (CP), a diverse and core sub-field of Political Science.

You will be asked to discuss recent developments in the theories and concepts used in comparative politics, and will be called upon to apply these analytical tools to some specific issues. The course examines concepts and issues related to states and regimes, political economy, collective action, and various components of identity.</image:caption>
