As the liberal international order weakens, we are witnessing, on one hand, the rise of anti-pluralist leaders and movements which seek to capture states and societies. At the same time, more (and less) vigorous coalitions for open societies are coalescing, challenging the global anti-pluralist turn. This complex pattern involves multiple actors, norms, pressures and processes which can and should be compared to better understand this acute global challenge. Our ability to do so, however, is hampered by a tendency in Western Politics and IR analysis to posit an authoritarian "East" in opposition to a democratic "West". A recent case in point has been media depictions of recent protests in Turkey which center tropes of Oriental despotism rather than attending to the complex confluence of actors and ideas, contexts and processes which are driving outcomes. How, then, to capture causal complexity? Nora Fisher-Onar's Contesting Pluralism(s): Islamism, Liberalism and Nationalism in Turkey and Beyond (Cambridge University Press, 2025) does so via an original framework that puts complexity thinking into conversation with (global) IR and comparative politics/area studies. The product is a rather radical re-reading of Turkey's political history and present wherein the primary driver of political change is not any "Islam/ist vs. secularism or democracy" cleavage but rather shifting coalitions of pluralizing and anti-pluralist actors across camps. This novel approach to distilling empirical complexity thus offers a timely new "key" to political contestation anywhere, helping us to learn comparatively across cases and regions. CHAIR: Nora Fisher-Onar (University of San Francisco). PRESENTERS: Nathan Brown (George Washington University), Banu Gökarıksel (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) and Peter Mandaville (George Mason University).

Yogais protective and enlivening. Freeing you from habitual patterns of tension, this yoga creates a sense of spaciousness within, dissolves stress, strengthens core muscles, joint health, centeredness, postural alignment and groundedness, increases breath capacity and breath awareness, shifts stagnant emotions into movement and release, and is attentive to the subtle stuff of the mind, helping to free us from the driving forces of unconscious actions and thoughts. You'll practice yogic techniques that you can bring into your everyday experience for simply living a good day, and for increasing your capacity to be creatively present in your life. A yogic attitude toward self and practice is one of kindness, patience, and tenderness. We grow into our best selves in an inner atmosphere of loving care. Open to all UConn students, faculty and staff from any campus. No experience required.
