Celebrating its 20th year, the 2015 Campagna-Kerven Lecture on Modern Turkey was delivered by Jenny White, Professor of Anthropology at Boston University. Held April 15, 2015 at Boston University, the lecture examined the cult of personality around [...]Turkish leader Recep Erdogan, a controversial and polarizing figure. White argued that Erdogan had cultivated a legend of being a Å’big man, fostering a kind of magical thinking that his personal power would be enough to cope with Turkey's thorny issues of Muslim and secular identity. The event was co-sponsored by the Institute for the Study of Muslim Societies and Civilizations.
