SUMMARY:Talk: “Three Strikes and She’s Out: The Origins and Expansion of a Divorce and Remarriage Stipulation in Q 2:230” by Lyall Armstrong\, Alwaleed Bin Talal Director’s Series\, Harvard Law School\, Lewis 214\, November 27\, 2023 @ 12:00 – 1:30 p.m.
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, November 27\, 2023 at 12pm EST for a talk titled “Three Strikes and She’s Out: The Origins and Expansion of a Divorce and Remarriage Stipulation in Q 2:230” by Professor Lyall Armstrong. \nAbstract: Q 2:230 stipulates that if a man divorces his wife three times and then wants to marry her again\, she must have married and divorced another man in the intervening period in order for her to be legally licit for the previous husband. This lecture will explore the origins of this divorce ruling by evaluating its relationship to divorce and remarriage law in Late Antiquity and by analyzing the Islamic tradition purported to be the source for the ruling. The lecture will then investigate how early and medieval legal scholars approached the ruling in light of its canonization in the Qur’ān. This evaluation of Q 2:230 hopes to contribute to the expansion of our understanding of the origins and applications\, even in the modern period\, of Islamic law.

SUMMARY:Talk: “Locusts of Power” by Samuel Dolbee\, CMES\, Harvard University\, November 29\, 2023
DESCRIPTION:From the CMES website: \nDate: Wednesday\, November 29\, 2023\, 6:00pm to 7:30pm; Location: CMES\, Rm 102\, 38 Kirkland St\, Cambridge\, MA 02138 \nThe CMES Environmental Studies of the Middle East Speaker Series is pleased to present Samuel Dolbee\, Assistant Professor of History\, Family Dean’s Faculty Fellow in Studies of the Middle East\, Vanderbilt University \nSamuel Dolbee\, Assistant Professor\, Vanderbilt University\, is an environmental historian of the Ottoman Empire and the modern Middle East\, with interests in agriculture\, disease\, and science. He teaches courses in the Department of History and as part of the Climate Studies major. \nHis first book from Cambridge University Press is entitled Locusts of Power: Borders\, Empire\, and Environment in the Modern Middle East (June 2023). The book offers a new account of the end of the Ottoman Empire and the emergence of the states of Iraq\, Syria\, and Turkey grounded in the ecology of the Jazira region\, its mobile people\, and distinctive locusts. It unearths what borders meant in the lives of not only locusts but also Arab and Kurdish nomads\, Armenian deportees\, and Assyrian refugees. His next project is an environmental history of the microbe in the late Ottoman Empire. It is concerned at once with new treatments and spatial controls established against ailments like phylloxera\, rabies\, and rinderpest—which devastated the empire’s grape vines\, street dogs\, and cattle—as well as the way the language of germs infected the language of politics in the empire’s final years. \nDolbee’s scholarship has appeared in the American Historical Review\, Past & Present\, and International Journal of Middle East Studies. He has also contributed chapters to edited volumes on the history of food and disease\, respectively. He is the editor in chief of Ottoman History Podcast. \nPrior to coming to Vanderbilt\, Dolbee was a lecturer on History & Literature at Harvard. He previously held postdoctoral fellowships at Yale’s Program in Agrarian Studies\, Harvard’s Mahindra Humanities Center\, and Brandeis University’s Crown Center for Middle East Studies. Dolbee completed his PhD at New York University in the joint program in History and Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies\, and has an MA in Arab Studies from Georgetown University and a BA in History and International Studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. \nFor more information\, visit here.

SUMMARY:Book talk: “Bedouin Bureaucrats: Mobility and Property in the Ottoman Empire” with Nora Barakat\, Center for Middle Eastern Studies\, Harvard University\, February 14\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Book talk: “Bedouin Bureaucrats: Mobility and Property in the Ottoman Empire” \nDate: Wednesday\, February 14\, 2024\,  5:00pm to 6:30pm \nLocation: CMES\, Rm 102\, 38 Kirkland St\, Cambridge\, MA 02138 \nThe CMES New Works in Middle East Studies series presents \nNora Barakat\nAssistant Professor of History\, Stanford University \nIn the late nineteenth century\, the Ottoman government sought to fill landscapes they legally defined as “empty.” Both land and people were incorporated into territorially bounded grids of administrative law. Bedouin Bureaucrats examines how tent-dwelling\, seasonally migrating Bedouin engaged in these processes of Ottoman state transformation on local\, imperial\, and global scales. As the “tribe” became a category of Ottoman administration\, Bedouin in the Syrian interior used this category both to gain political influence and to organize community resistance to maintain control over land. \nNarrating the lives of Bedouin individuals involved in Ottoman administration\, Nora Elizabeth Barakat brings this population to the center of modern state-making\, from their involvement in the pilgrimage administration in the eighteenth century and their performance of land registration and taxation as the Ottoman bureaucracy expanded in the nineteenth\, to their eventual rejection of Ottoman attempts to reallocate the “empty land” they inhabited in the twentieth. She places the Syrian interior in a global context of imperial expansion into regions formerly deemed marginal\, especially in relation to American and Russian empires. Ultimately\, the book illuminates Ottoman state formation attempts within Bedouin communities and the unique trajectory of Bedouin in Syria\, who maintained their control over land. \nLink: https://cmes.fas.harvard.edu/event/book-talk-bedouin-bureaucrats-mobility-and-property-ottoman-empire\nContact: Liz Flanagan<mailto:elizabethflanagan@fas.harvard.edu>

SUMMARY:Roundtable: Islamic Land Law\, Program in Islamic Law\, Harvard Law School\, February 21\, 2024 @ 12:30 – 1:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:WED 21 FEB 2024 | 12.30-1.30 | via Zoom \nEvent::Roundtable on Islamic Land Law \nThe roundtable focuses on the transformation of the Ottoman land system in the 19th century\, particularly examining the 1858 Land Code (Kanunname-i Arazi) and its impact on land laws in the Ottoman Empire’s successor states. With case studies focusing on Bosnia\, Greece\, Bulgaria\, and Serbia\, the roundtable will explore how these changes influenced the balance between labor and capital\, the privatization of estates and agricultural lands\, the legal rights of landholders\, and the link between land ownership and sovereignty. The discussion aims to understand continuity and change between Ottoman and successor state legal systems by analyzing bureaucratic interactions and the use of Ottoman and European legal sources. By also considering the political and economic reasons behind these legal changes\, including how new administrations used them for nation-building\, the roundtable offers new perspectives on legal continuity and adaptation in post-Ottoman regions. \nThe link for this roundtable is available here.

SUMMARY:Talk: “Rivers of the Sultan: The Tigris and Euphrates in the Ottoman Empire” with Faisal Husain\, Center for Middle Eastern Studies\, Harvard University\, February 28\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:The CMES Environmental Studies of the Middle East Speaker Series presents \n“Rivers of the Sultan: The Tigris and Euphrates in the Ottoman Empire” with Faisal Husain\, Assistant Professor of History\, Department of History\, College of the Liberal Arts\, Penn State \n“Rivers of the Sultan” offers a history of the Ottoman Empire’s management of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in the early modern period. During the early sixteenth century\, a radical political realignment in West Asia placed the reins of the Tigris and Euphrates in the hands of Istanbul. The political unification of the longest rivers in West Asia allowed the Ottoman state to rebalance the natural resource disparity along its eastern frontier. It regularly organized the shipment of grain\, metal\, and timber from upstream areas of surplus in Anatolia and the Jazira to downstream areas of need in Iraq. This imperial system of waterborne communication\, the book argues\, created heavily militarized fortresses that anchored the Ottoman presence in Iraq\, enabling Istanbul to hold in check foreign and domestic challenges to its authority and to exploit the organic wealth of the Tigris-Euphrates alluvium. From the end of the seventeenth century\, the convergence of natural and human disasters transformed the Ottoman Empire’s relationship with its twin rivers. A trend toward provincial autonomy ensued that would localize the Ottoman management of the Tigris and Euphrates and shift its command post from Istanbul to the provinces. By placing a river system at the center of analysis\, this book reveals intimate bonds between valley and mountain\, water and power in the early modern world. \nFebruary 28\, 2024\n5:00pm to 6:30pm \nCMES\, Rm 102\n38 Kirkland St\, Cambridge\, MA 02138 \nLink: https://cmes.fas.harvard.edu/event/rivers-sultan-tigris-and-euphrates-ottoman-empire\nContact: Liz Flanagan<mailto:elizabethflanagan@fas.harvard.edu>

The Harvard South Africa Fellowship Program continues to serve as an intellectual resource for talented South Africans\, with the goal of providing a “transformational experience” at Harvard University during the fellowship year. \nVisit here for more details about the fellowship program.  Visit the link here for application instructions.  Applications are due by April 15\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Islamic Law Speaker Series: “The Imam of the Christians: The World of Dionysius of Tel-Mahre\, c. 750–850” with Philip Wood\, Program in Islamic Law\, May 14\, 2024 @ 12:30 – 1:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, May 14\, 2024 at 12:30-1:30PM US EST via Zoom\, Philip Wood (Aga Khan University) will give a book talk on The Imam of the Christians: The World of Dionysius of Tel-Mahre\, c. 750–850 (Princeton University Press\, 2021) as part of our Islamic Law Speaker Series. This book examines how Christian leaders adopted and adapted the political practices and ideas of their Muslim rulers between 750 and 850 in the Abbasid caliphate in the Jazira (modern eastern Turkey and northern Syria). Focusing on the writings of Dionysius of Tel-Mahre\, the patriarch of the Jacobite church\, Wood describes how this encounter produced an Islamicate Christianity that differed from the Christianities of Byzantium and western Europe in far more than just theology. In doing so\, Wood opens a new window on the world of early Islam and Muslims’ interactions with other religious communities. Register today!

SUMMARY:Call for Applications: Harvard Medieval Studies Undergraduate Research Fellows Program\, June 20\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Committee on Medieval Studies invites applications for its Undergraduate Research Fellows Program\, which offers qualified students in Harvard College the opportunity to work closely with scholars across the disciplines on research projects and initiatives. Unlike research assistants in most other departments\, Research Fellows are employed directly by the Committee on Medieval Studies\, and work with different faculty members throughout the year on a variety of short- and longer-term initiatives. This allows the Fellows the opportunity to develop relationships with an interdisciplinary group of scholars\, and to participate in a range of research tasks within the broad field of Medieval Studies. Fellows should expect to work a maximum of six hours each week during the 2024-25 academic year; a stipend of $1500 per semester will be paid to each Fellow. \nAll current second- and third-year students in any discipline whose work focuses on Medieval Studies are eligible to apply for the Fellows Program. In addition to a cover letter detailing their interest in the program and their academic background in Medieval Studies\, and a resumé indicating their research skills (e.g. database\, web design\, language knowledge\, training with manuscripts\, etc.)\, applicants also should arrange for a letter of recommendation to be submitted under separate cover from a faculty member\, attesting to their academic and research potential. \nCompleted applications may be sent to: Undergraduate Research Fellows\, Harvard University Committee on Medieval Studies\, Barker Center 120\, 12 Quincy Street\, Cambridge MA 02138. Electronic submissions (in PDF format) can be sent to Sean Gilsdorf (gilsdorf@fas.harvard.edu). All materials must be received by Friday\, 20 June 2024 for full consideration.

SUMMARY:ILSS: “Ādamiyyah: I am Therefore I have Rights” with Recep Senturk\, Program in Islamic Law
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, October 8\, 2024\, at 12:30-1:30PM US EST via Zoom\, Professor Recep Senturk (Hamad Bin Khalifa University) will present Ādamiyyah: I am Therefore I have Rights (Usul Academy Press\, 2025). This book explores the concept of Ādamiyya and Huqūq al-Ādamiyyīn in Islamic law and its implications in practice from the time of Prophet Muhammad\, His Predecessors\, the Umayyad and Abbasid periods\, Andalusia and the Islamic rule in India. Special attention is paid to how the concept of Ādamiyya was used in relation to non-Ahl al-Kitāb people such as Buddhists\, Hindus\, and Zoroastrians under Islamic rule. The book argues that the universalistic view of Islamic law based on the concept of Ādamiyya went into eclipse with the rise of nation states in the Muslim and it needs to be revived again. Registration is required.
