Dear all,

We are excited to invite you to a special guest lecture within our Dean’s Lecture Series featuring Professor Riccardo Pelizzo, a distinguished expert in political development. Currently a Professor at Nazarbayev University, Dr. Pelizzo has made significant contributions to our understanding of the political consequences of traditional beliefs.

Lecture Topic:
“The Problem of Tradition”
This lecture will explore the complex dynamics between tradition and modernity, examining how traditional beliefs—such as superstition and ritual practices—impact political outcomes. Drawing on his latest research, Dr. Pelizzo will discuss the ways these beliefs often intersect with support for strongman leadership and influence voting behavior. His insights span diverse global contexts, highlighting how traditional beliefs persist and interact with modern political systems in both developing and developed nations.
