SUMMARY:Lecture: “Law\, Ethics\, and the History of the Islamic Marriage Contract” with Marion Holmes Katz\, University of California Irvine\, February 13\, 2025 @ 8-9 PM ET
DESCRIPTION:“Law\, Ethics\, and the History of the Islamic Marriage Contract” \nWelcoming guest lecturer Marion Holmes Katz\, Professor at New York University. \nMarion Holmes Katz is a Professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at New York University. Her work focuses on the history of Islamic legal thought\, primarily in the 11th-15th centuries CE\, with an emphasis on issues of gender and ritual. She is particularly interested in the conceptual structures of legal works and how Islamic legal thought relates to other normative discourses that were authoritative for premodern Muslims. She is also interested in the ongoing life of these texts (and of Islamic law) in modernity. Professor Katz is the author of five books\, including Women in the Mosque: A History of Legal Thought and Social Practice; Prayer in Islamic Thought and Practice; and The Birth of the Prophet Muhammad: Devotional Piety in Sunni Islam\, as well as many academic articles. Her most recent book\, Wives and Work: Islamic Law and Ethics Before Modernity (2022)\, uses the disputed status of wives’ domestic labor as a window into deeper debates about the structure of the Muslim marriage contract and the nature of the rights and obligations that were exchanged between the spouses. Professor Katz holds a Ph.D. from the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago and a BA from Yale University. \nAdvanced registration is required to attend this event. \nFor registration and further details\, see here.

SUMMARY:Islamic Law Speaker Series: “The Making of the Modern Muslim State: Islam and Governance in the Middle East and North Africa (Princeton University Press\, 2024)\,” Malika Zeghal\, Program in Islamic Law\, February 11\, 2025 @ 12:30 – 1:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, February 11\, 2025\, at 12:30-1:30PM US EST via Zoom\, Professor Malika Zeghal (Harvard University) will present The Making of the Modern Muslim State: Islam and Governance in the Middle East and North Africa (Princeton University Press\, 2024). This book reframes the role of Islam in modern Middle East governance. Challenging other accounts that claim that Middle Eastern states turned secular in modern times\, Professor Zeghal shows instead the continuity of the state’s custodianship of Islam as the preferred religion. Drawing on intellectual\, political\, and economic history\, she traces this custodianship from early forms of constitutional governance in the nineteenth century through post–Arab Spring experiments in democracy. She argues that the intense debates around the implementation and meaning of state support for Islam led to a political cleavage between conservatives and their opponents that long predated the polarization of the twentieth century that accompanied the emergence of mass politics and Islamist movements. Examining constitutional projects\, public spending\, school enrollments\, and curricula\, Professor Zeghal shows that although modern Muslim-majority polities have imported Western techniques of governance\, the state has continued to protect and support the religion\, community\, and institutions of Islam. She finds that even as Middle Eastern states have expanded their nonreligious undertakings\, they have dramatically increased their per capita supply of public religious provisions\, especially Islamic education—further feeding the political schism between Islamists and their adversaries. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Seminar: “An Eastern Gaze: The Making of an Islamic Archive in Early Modern China” with Dror Weil\, Princeton University\, January 27\, 2025 @ 12:00 – 1:20 PM
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \nMid-16th century China saw a surprising emergence of a network of local savants who shared an interest in the exploration of Arabic and Persian texts. To that end\, they undertook extensive searches for Arabic and Persian manuscripts\, forgotten in libraries or newly brought to China along a growing influx of foreign visitors\, and meticulously studied their contents. This talk will tell the rather unique story of the hundreds of Arabic and Persian works that circulated in China between the 16th and 18th centuries. It will explore the scholarly practices by which Chinese savants read\, interpreted\, and remade Arabo-Persian works\, while bridging the cultural\, linguistic and epistemic differences. It will shed light on some of the inherent challenges of domesticating a foreign textual archive at the margins of a literary tradition\, and the incentives to transform the traditional manuscript-based scholarship into print. Dror Weil is an Assistant Professor in History of Early Modern Asia (East Asia and the Islamicate World) at Faculty of History\, University of Cambridge and an Official Fellow of King’s College Cambridge. He is a member at the Institute for Advanced Study during the academic year 2024/2025. Dror graduated from Princeton University in 2016. \nFor more details\, visit here.

SUMMARY:Islamic Law Speaker Series: “On Theocratic Criminal Law: The Rule of Religion and Punishment in Iran\,” Bahman Khodadadi\, Program in Islamic Law\, December 10\, 2024 @ 12:30 – 1:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, December 10\, 2024\, at 12:30-1:30PM US EST\, Dr. Bahman Khodadadi (Harvard Law School) will present On Theocratic Criminal Law: The Rule of Religion and Punishment in Iran (Oxford University Press\, 2024). This talk explores the roots and structures of the criminal law system of the world’s most prominent constitutional theocracy\, the Shīʿī theocracy. While discussing the processes of de-westernization which occurred in the wake of the Islamic Revolution\, this work examines how the Islamic conception of civil order and polity has been established within the legal and theological framework of the Iranian Constitution. The presentation offers a ‘rational reconstruction’ of the theocratic criminal law and offers a critical analysis of the way criminal law functions as the centerpiece of this mode of theocratic domination. It illuminates how this revelation-based\, punitive ideology functions\, how the current Islamic Penal Code mirrors prevailing Shīʿī jurisprudence. It also explores the jurisprudential principles and dynamic power of Shīʿī Islam not only as a driving force behind political and social change but as a force that has been capable of forging a whole theocratic legal system. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Fall 2024 Lester Lecture: “Polyvalence\, Ambiguity and the Politics of Islamic Studies” with  Dr. Marion Katz\, University of Colorado Boulder\, November 14\, 2024 @ 5:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:“Over the last several decades\, polyvalence (in the sense of the simultaneous recognition of multiple potentially valid meanings) and the related phenomenon of ambiguity have become established themes –and implicitly central values- of the western academic study of premodern Islam. Conversely\, accounts of the impact of colonialism and the transition to modern forms of Islamic thought have often thematized the rise of monovalent and unambiguous ways of reading and thinking. This trend has helpfully highlighted the diversity and richness of premodern Islamic thought. However\, it has also become a trope with unexamined political valences.” \n“Marion Katz is a Professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at New York University. Her books include Prayer in Islamic Thought and Practice (2013)\, Women in the Mosque: A History of Legal Thought and Social Practice (2014)\, and Wives and Work: Islamic Law and Ethics Before Modernity (2022).” \n“This event is free and open to the public. Snacks and refreshments will be served.” \nFor more details\, see here.

SUMMARY:Islamic Law Speaker Series: “Islamic Apocalyptic Jurisprudence: End-Times Law in Sunnī and Shīʿī Discourses” by Ali Rod Khadem\, Program in Islamic Law\, November 12\, 2024 @ 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, November 12\, 2024\, at 12:30-1:30PM US EST\, Professor Ali Rod Khadem (Suffolk University) will present “Islamic Apocalyptic Jurisprudence: End-Times Law in Sunnī and Shīʿī Discourses” (Islamic Law and Society 31 (3)\, 2024). This talk explores theories of the final legal system that will govern humanity in the End Times\, as envisioned in the apocalyptic discourses of several Sunnī and Shīʿī case studies. Key themes include the sources of law\, the role of jurists\, conflicts between Islamic\, Jewish\, Christian\, and international legal systems\, changes to classical Islamic legal theory\, and the introduction of new laws and policies in the apocalyptic era. The presentation will highlight how the lens of apocalypticism enables movements and thinkers to advocate for radical changes to the foundations and particulars of Islamic law\, while still claiming to operate within the boundaries of Islamic orthodoxy. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Talk: “Matriarchal Islam: Gendering Sharia in the Early Modern Indian Ocean” with Mahmood Kooria\, Harvard University\, November 4\, 2024 @ 6:00 – 7:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Location: S153\, CGIS South\, 1730 Cambridge St.\, Cambridge\, MA\n\n\nSponsors: Southeast Asia Initiative\, Harvard Asia Center\n\n\nMahmood Kooria\, School of History\, Classics and Archaeology\, University of Edinburgh\, UK \n“Millions of Muslims from Mozambique to Indonesia historically followed a social system in which women held significant influence over family\, community\, and broader cultural traditions. Beginning in the nineteenth century\, many Arabian and European jurists critiqued them as un-Islamic or unnatural\, contending that women heading families contradicted what they saw as Islamic or natural laws. Yet\, diverse forms of matrilineal\, matrifocal\, and matriarchal systems flourished among Muslims in Indonesia\, Malaysia\, India\, Sri Lanka\, the Comoros\, and Mozambique. Despite their geographical distances\, they were bound together by the Indian Ocean world. This system also served as a practical structure for engaging in maritime commerce\, enabling men to go on voyages as merchants\, sailors\, and itinerants\, while women managed property\, households\, and social affairs. Such economic and social stability empowered women with decision-making in personal and economic matters. This talk explores this matriarchal-maritime continuum\, examining its role in family\, community\, and economic life from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries\, prior to the widespread challenges to these practices. It further investigates how this system supported the mercantile networks of the Indian Ocean and contributed to the spread of Islam\, offering a different perspective to interpretations of its societies as patriarchal and patrilineal.” \nMahmood Kooria is a Lecturer in the History of the Indian Ocean World at the University of Edinburgh’s Department of History\, Scotland. Previously\, he has held teaching and research positions at Leiden University (the Netherlands)\, University of Bergen (Norway)\, Ashoka University (India)\, National Islamic University Jakarta (Indonesia)\, International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS)\, the African Studies Centre Leiden (ASCL)\, and the Dutch Institute in Morocco (NIMAR). His research focuses on the premodern Indian Ocean world\, Afro-Asian connections\, matriarchal and matrilineal Muslim societies\, and Islamic legal history. He has authored Islamic Law in Circulation: Shafi`i Texts across the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean (Cambridge\, 2022)\, and co-edited Malabar in the Indian Ocean World: Cosmopolitanism in a Maritime Historical Region (Oxford\, 2018) and Islamic Law in the Indian Ocean: Texts\, Ideas\, and Practices (Routledge\, 2022). \nFor more information\, including on how to RSVP (not required)\, please see here.

SUMMARY:Talk: “Empire of Refugees: North Caucasian Muslims and the Late Ottoman State” by Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky\, UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies\, October 29\, 2024 @ 7 – 10 pm ET
DESCRIPTION:Where: Bunche Hall\, Rm 10383 \nWhen: Tuesday\, October 29\, 2024 / 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM (Pacific Time) \n“Between the 1850s and World War I\, the Ottoman Empire welcomed about a million Muslim refugees from Russia. In his new book\, Empire of Refugees: North Caucasian Muslims and the Late Ottoman State\, Dr. Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky examines how Circassian\, Chechen\, Dagestani\, and other refugees transformed the late Ottoman Empire and how the Ottoman government managed Muslim refugee resettlement. North Caucasians established hundreds of villages throughout the Ottoman Balkans\, Anatolia\, and the Levant. Most villages still exist today\, including what is now the city of Amman. Empire of Refugees demonstrates that the Ottoman government created a refugee regime that predated refugee systems set up by the League of Nations and the United Nations. It offers a new way to think about migration and displacement in the Middle East.” \nSee here for more details.

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.
