AKHP Public Lecture, Bishkek: The Kyrgyz Self-Exploration Experience: Searching for Lost Tradition in Modern Contexts
AKHP Public Lecture, Bishkek: The Kyrgyz Self-Exploration Experience: Searching for Lost Tradition in Modern Contexts
Since time immemorial, small and large nations and cultures have explored their spirituality in a quest to find their place in the world. One’s spiritual path is not always clear, and without deep thought, the process can remain perfunctory. In ancient times, Kyrgyz people were keen to explore and discover their spiritual path, however, gradually, notions of this self-exploration have been replaced with formal traditions, imposed external laws and ideologies. Individuals have thus lost a sense of a real, vibrant and authentic spirituality. This lecture will invite participants to reflect on this change, and how there is a contradiction between the development of formal traditions and traditions related with the real life of people.

AKHP Public Lecture, Khorog: Challenges of a New Time: Solutions for Water Problems in GBAO
Climate change and population growth are important factors that are impacting the availability of water resources. A larger share of water resources is being used for agriculture and other purposes in rural areas. Before the 1990s, water in the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO) was regulated through collective farms and Oblast-level water management bodies. Today, each farmer has to independently handle farm irrigation. Year after year, improper irrigation of land erodes lands and degrades crops. This lecture will offer efficient solutions for water-related problems in GBAO.

AKHP Public Lecture, Almaty: Values, Identities and the Problem of Modernisation in Central Asia
AKHP Public Lecture, Almaty: Values, Identities and the Problem of Modernisation in Central Asia
This lecture will cover the modernisation of Central Asian countries, leveraging concepts from cognitive sociology (such as values, identities, institutes and types of social systems), and highlighting the importance of socio-cultural institutes in the modernisation of the state, society, economics and politics. It will also explore the degree of success of social modernisation projects. The lecturer sees modernisation as a transition to another level of socio-cultural complexity, which significantly exceeds the current condition of our society. At the current level (as determined by the socio-cultural theory of society), it is not sufficient to ensure adequate self-reflection on the condition of the society and possibilities for modernisation.

CHHU Public Lecture, Naryn: An Ethnography of Naryn River Life: When and How Does the River Matter in Naryn Province?
Thе lecture will draw on ethnographic fieldwork, archival work and media analyses between 2014 and 2018 on attitudes towards crucial water bodies in Central Asia such as the Syr-Darya river and holy lake Issyk-Kul. With head water glaciers melting and attempts to build new dams at a number of sites, water politics not only reflect relationships between riparian neighbor states, but also attitudes among riparian residents with different livelihoods and dependencies on rivers and lakes.

History of Airlines in the Pamirs: Geographic Isolation and Ways Out
History of Airlines in the Pamirs: Geographic Isolation and Ways Out
The lecture will discuss the little-studied history of civil airlines in different areas of Pamir from 1929 through 1993. In 2013-2018, the lecturer was engaged in a research project, and collected significant number of materials from state’s archives in the Pamirs, as well as individual and family photos. Using the collected data, the lecturer conducted objective analysis of the events, related to the history of airlines in the Pamirs. The paradox is that geographical isolation of the Pamirs and market economy make flights to the Pamirs progressively less available, and sometimes flights might not be available several months in a row. In light of this, building on his assumptions and recommendations the lecturer will engage the audience into discussion to find solutions for this problem.
