SUMMARY:Conference: Association for the Study of Law\, Culture\, and the Humanities Annual Conference\, Chicago\, June 17–18\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \nEvery year\, the Association holds it annual conference\, usually a two-day affair\, as well as a graduate student workshop\, usually held the day before the annual conference. The 2026 annual meeting will be held at the DePaul University College of Law from June 17-18th. Our call for papers and submissions guidelines can be found below: \nUprooted Law: Reflecting on the Origins and Outgrowths of Law \nWhat do we follow when we follow the law? Is law what is on the books\, or what is observed\, or what should be observed? The English term “law” descends from the plural form of the Old Norse “lag\,” designating “things laid down or fixed.” Yet law must be flexible enough to adjust and respond to changes. Particularly today\, when the line between legal norms and norms rooted elsewhere has blurred\, it is difficult to determine law’s location. What is law’s function in times of technological\, political\, and societal change? Does the law have a responsibility toward itself\, and if so\, who can be trusted with its observation? Given that law borrows from other areas of culture\, from literature and rhetoric to the sciences and dramatic arts\, the humanities are in a premier position to respond to these questions. \nThis conference invites reflections on the origins of law in the broadest sense. What substantiates the rule of law in practice\, and how does law itself mediate the difference between original and copy\, present and past? How do an ensemble of methods\, disciplines\, movements\, texts\, and technologies come together to help law create the past and future? We invite reflections on these and related questions and welcome papers\, roundtables\, and work-in-progress sessions that help us understand law’s current position by looking at it through a humanistic lens. \nSubmission Guidelines \nWe encourage the submission of fully constituted panels\, as well as panels that reimagine or experiment with models for academic presentation\, such as roundtables\, “author meets reader” sessions (which may include multiple books and their authors in conversation)\, works-in-progress sessions\, workshop-format panels that focus on engaging participants in shared thinking or other kinds of productive co-creation\, multi-panel streams\, etc. Individual proposals should include a title and an abstract of no more than 250 words. \nPanels\, whether virtual or in-person\, should include three papers (or\, exceptionally\, four papers). Please specify a title and designate a chair for your panel. The panel chair may also be a panel presenter. It is not necessary to write an abstract or proposal for the panel itself. \nTo indicate your pre-constituted panel\, roundtable\, or stream\, please ensure that each individual participant provides the name of the panel and the chair in their individual submissions on the registration site. All panel\, roundtable\, or stream participants must make an individual submission on the registration site. When submitting a proposal\, we also ask that registrants identify two to three keywords to help us align sessions with each other. \nMode \nThe twenty-eighth annual conference will emphasize the LCH tradition of in-person conversation. While we encourage participants to join us in Chicago\, we recognize that in-person attendance may be prohibitive for some. To that end\, we will also accept the submission of virtual panels and papers. \nSince we will not be providing technical support for virtual participants\, panel chairs will be responsible for providing Zoom links that will be listed in the program. All plenary sessions will be available streaming online as well as in person. \nCreating a Panel: Our Program Archive and Graduate Coordinators \nWhile participants may submit individual paper proposals that the Program Committee will later combine into full panels\, we strongly encourage applicants to create full panels prior to submission. Pre-formed panels may cohere better\, and allow collaborators to craft focused scholarly exchanges. Panels comprising a diversity of institutions\, academic ranks\, disciplines\, and identities are often the most rewarding. \nIf you would like support in finding others who might be interested in forming a panel\, have a look at our archive of past conference programs\, which can be found here. Our recent programs may contain the names of scholars working in fields related to your research. Reaching out to scholars who have previously presented at LCH about creating a panel can be a good place to start. For additional assistance\, please feel free to contact our Graduate Coordinators\, Aditya Banerjee (adityabanerjee@g.harvard.edu) and Jack Quirk (john_quirk@brown.edu) with “LCH panel” in the subject line. The Graduate Coordinators will act as intermediaries\, and may be able to put you in contact with others working on related topics. Please contact them well before the submission deadline\, to allow time for follow-up. \nWe especially encourage graduate students and those new to LCH to consider reaching out to the Graduate Coordinators if they’re struggling to identify potential co-panelists. \nHow to Submit \nSubmissions should be made through the following link: \n\nSubmit a Proposal\n\n\nSubmission Deadline \nThe deadline for all conference submissions is January 31\, 2026. \nContact Information \nPlease email lch@lawculturehumanities.com with any queries.

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: The Institutional Embedding of Shiʿi Imams: Kinship\, Caliphs\, Courts and Companions (700-900)\, University of Leiden\, June 20\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:From the Organizers: \nCall for Papers: The Institutional Embedding of Shiʿi Imams:\nKinship\, Caliphs\, Courts and Companions (700-900)\nUniversity of Leiden\, 13th-15th January 2027 \nThis conference seeks to illuminate the embedding of imams (and uncanonised candidates for imamate) as actors within their social\, institutional and historical context before the canonization of an unbroken line of Twelve imams (260/874). \nIt will consist of a conference with traditional presentations\, combined with a more workshop-style discussion of sources and approaches aimed at generating solid conversations about the state of the field. \nThe Imami imams are familiar as scholars and sources of knowledge\, but they were\, crucially\, also elite members of the Islamic empire and as such occupied a pre-eminent place within society\, serving as landowners\, powerbrokers and community leaders. They also married into the other major families including the dynastic families of the Umayyad and Abbasids. Many of their followers occupied eminent positions within the polities of their day\, while a number of imams (Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq\, in primis) serve as transmitters of religious knowledge for non-Shiʿi communities. They were\, thus\, embedded within early Islamic society and played a role in its formation. \nA core assumption of this conference will be that the institutions of the Imami Shiʿi imamate came into being in historical time at some point after the death of the Prophet Muhammad\, but that it is not clear exactly when or how this occurred: key questions\, then\, will be to interrogate potential methodologies for tracing different aspects of when and how a distinctive Imami imamate emerged. The conference will not accept papers that are purely doctrinal or intellectual history\, without a large component of social or institutional contextualisation. \nThe organisers welcome papers addressing the following themes for the period 700-900 CE: \n\nImami vs Caliphal authority: in what sense were the imams\, imams?\nThe household of the imam\nAccess to the imams\nSocio-political studies of the lives of individual imams\nThe development or role of the “Shi’i” community in specific regions/cities (e.g.\, Qom\, Kufa\, Medina\, Baghdad)\nInheritance and bequesting practices\nInstruments of succession – waṣiyya\, naṣṣ vs bayʿa \nEstates and property\nKinship ties between the imams and other Arabian elites\nThe role of companions of imams in the caliphal court\nNetworks of companions (geographical and social)\nImams at the caliphal court (politics\, imprisonment etc.)\nMethodologies and sources for writing Shiʿi social and institutional history\nComparisons between the social and institutional positioning\, and followers of different candidates and conceptions of imamate: such as Zayd b. ʿAlī\, ʿAbd Allāh al-Afṭaḥ\, Abū Ḥanīfa\, or the caliph al-Manṣūr\nFailed imams\nAlqāb as indicators of claims to authority\nInscriptions and papyri as sources for the early Shiʿa\n\nPresentations will be 45 minutes long and the organisers are open to allowing presenters to choose how they wish to use their time\, whether as a traditional presentation (30 minutes talk + 15 minutes Q&A)\, by pre-circulating primary sources you wish to discuss or other suitable arrangements.  The organisers intend to publish contributions from the conference as either an edited volume/special issue and will be in touch with further details and timeline once the speakers have been determined. \nPlease send abstracts to e.p.hayes@hum.leidenuniv.nl and l.f.pecorini.goodall@hum.leidenuniv.nl.  Abstracts of no more than 300 words. Deadline: Monday\, 20th of June
