Turkish
Politics Since The Second Iraq War

Turkey’s political scene has undergone crucial change since the

moderate Islamist and pro-European entity—has been forced to accommodate
and contain a variety of political tensions resulting from the rise of
anti-American and anti-European ideas, the development of extreme nationalism,
and growing military intervention in Turkish politics. Join Kaya Sahin,
Ph.D., a member of the history faculty at Northwestern University, to
explore political Islam and the developments of the past few years. [Room

of Many: Adoption in Russia

After the fall of Communism, many of Eastern Europe’s strained state

policy made dreams come true for many couples, yet sparked a debate in
the former Soviet nations along the lines of ethnicity, religion, and
nationalism. Join Nicholas Catanese, instructor of Russian, for an informative
discussion on the current state of this complex issue. [Room P103]
