The Psychology of Populism and the Intersection of Religion

May 5, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The speaker is Karim Sadjadpour and here is a description of his presentation:

The surprise 2016 US Presidential election of Donald Trump and the Brexit vote in the UK are just two examples of a global populist explosion that has impacted the politics of South America, Europe, and Asia. What is populism and why are human beings of diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and nationalities allured by it? What kinds of societies are most vulnerable to populist politicians and how can the rise of dangerous populists best be prevented?  What role do our religious traditions play in the rise of populism?

Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Karim Sadjadpour is widely considered one of the leading authorities on Iran and the Middle East. A regular contributor to The Atlantic, Karim writes on the Middle East’s political, economic, cultural, and geopolitical dynamics. He is a frequent guest on the PBS Newshour, NPR, and CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS. At Carnegie, he advises senior U.S., European, and Asian officials, including foreign ministers, military leaders, and heads of state.
