SUMMARY:Call for Panel Proposals: Conference by Commission on Legal Pluralism and Universitas Indonesia\, April 1\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:The transformative power of legal pluralism? Planetary challenges in a diverse and multi-polar world \nInternational conference of the Commission on Legal Pluralism\, in cooperation with Faculty of Law\, Universitas Indonesia\, 13-15 January 2025\, Jakarta\, Indonesia. Preceded by an International Course on Legal Pluralism\, 8-11 January 2025. \nThe conference takes as its point of departure the relational character of law and legal pluralism and will critically examine the role plural configurations of normative orders and their entanglements play across the globe. The increasing demand for legal intervention to regulate the most serious challenges humanity is facing at multiple scales\, raises crucial questions about the role of law in a world threatened by climate change\, environmental destruction\, geo-political tensions and violent conflict\, and of legal pluralism beyond its understanding as an analytical concept. Current responses to environmental challenges are\, for instance\, multispecies normativities\, legal personhood and rights of nature\, and extending the scope of human rights to attend to humans’ planetary embeddedness\, intergenerational equity and a healthy environment. Other important developments are the decolonial critique of international law as a hegemonic imposition and critical approaches to the normative effects of technoscience and the digital transformation of society\, cyberlaw\, and especially the role of artificial intelligence. These and other issues have increasingly transformed ‘classical’ fields of legal pluralism scholarship. Ashift in emphasis from social security to an extended notion of care that encompasses power\, normativity and responsibility\, from gender to intersectionality\, or from natural resources to ‘nature’ may be mentioned here. At the same time\, the more classical themes of legal anthropology have not lost their importance: for millions of people nature is (also) a ‘resource’\, diverse forms of social security are crucial\, while issues of family law\, personal law and the often problematic relationships between state law\, customary law and religious law continue to deeply influence their daily lives. \nThus\, the conference situates legal pluralism between pluriversality and everyday lived experiences in coping with the planetary challenges we are facing today. In this vein\, the call for panels is open to discussions from a whole range of topics\, debates and arenas. In exploring these dimensions\, the conference aims both to broaden and deepen academic legal debates\, and to engage with practitioners and activists who have first-hand experience in dealing with law in practice. Socio-legally\, Indonesia and Southeast Asia are pluriverses themselves\, representing a wide variety of complexly interacting legal orders acting upon both the more classical fields of legal anthropology as well as new ones dealing with the challenges of the 21st century. Therefore\, we especially invite voices from Southeast Asia to highlight at the conference the innovative impulses they have recently given to legal pluralism scholarship in dealing with environmental\, social and other challenges in the region. We request interested parties to submit proposals for panels in the 2025 Jakarta conference. The panels may be ‘populated’ (including names of at least 3-4 presenters and titles of papers per panel) or ‘empty’ (without names of paper presenters). A proposal should include (a) title\, (b) name of panel organizer\, (c) email address of panel organizer\, and (d) panel description of not more than 250 words. If the panel is populated\, the proposal should also have (e) a list of presenters and – preferably the titles of their papers. Please send your paper proposals to j.m.ubink@law.leidenuniv.nl (for the attention of Janine Ubink) by no later than April 1\, 2024. This call for PANELS will be followed by a call for individual PAPERS in April / May.

SUMMARY:Conference: The other narratives of early Islam\, Goethe-University Frankfurt\, March 22-23\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:“The conference aims at allowing a direct dialogue between the various semi-disciplines of early Islamic history (the 7th to 9th century). For that purpose\, it brings together scholars who study early Islam either through contemporary sources or through a critical reading of later texts. One objective is to introduce the different methodologies and discuss their merits and flaws. As part of the first objective\, we hope to advance the use of both archaeological methods and archaeological theory in Islamic history in general and in discussions about early Islam in particular. The second objective is to examine which kind of historical questions can be answered by contemporary sources – fragmentary and local as they are. The third objective is to encourage students to use contemporary sources and critical methods by highlighting their advantages and slightly breaking the central position of the later narrative texts.” \nFor details\, see 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>

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.

SUMMARY:PIL–LC Research Fellowship Application\, 2024-2025\, February 15\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress\, the Program in Islamic Law at Harvard Law School is pleased to invite applications for the 2024-2025 PIL–LC Research Fellowship (due: February 15\, 2024). This newly offered fellowship is designed to provide an intellectual home to promising young scholars in Islamic legal studies\, to advance their research\, and to contribute to the intellectual life of the Program\, the greater Harvard community\, and the Library of Congress community. The unique opportunity afforded by this joint fellowship award allows the selected fellow to pursue independent research on Islamic law and history that utilizes the extensive collections of the Harvard Libraries and the Library of Congress. The PIL–LC Research Fellowship award is a full-time residential fellowship at Harvard Law School (for nine months\, during the academic year) and at the John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress (for three months\, the following summer). \nSuccessful applicants will have completed an advanced degree (JD\, PhD\, or SJD) before the start of the fellowship\, and plan to pursue a scholarly research agenda in Islamic law that engages legal history\, law and society\, or comparative law approaches. Fellows will receive a stipend for the duration of the fellowship. \nTo apply for this fellowship\, please submit the following materials via the research fellowship online application form by February 15\, 2024: \n1. a curriculum vitae \n2. a research proposal consisting of \n\na single-paragraph abstract of your proposed research\na research statement\, not to exceed 1500 words (3 single-spaced pages)\, and\na bibliography of works you have consulted that describes the proposed work during the fellowship period.\n\nThe proposal should outline research in your area of expertise or interest related to contemporary or historical issues of Islamic law that can be accomplished during the fellowship term; projects are to utilize the Harvard and Library of Congress collections to advance a novel contribution to scholarship through research in Islamic law\, with a legal history\, comparative law\, or law and society approach. \n3. an explanation of why Harvard/PIL and the Library of Congress are the required venue for your research (e.g.\, identification of specific Harvard/PIL resources and Library of Congress collections that are necessary to pursue the research project) \n4. a writing sample of no more than 25 pages in length\, in English (which can be a recent publication or unpublished work; works-in-progress are especially welcome) \n5. 3 reference letters from recommenders who are to upload letters directly at the referee link. \nA panel of scholars at both Harvard and the Library of Congress will review your application materials. The panel will consider your application in relation to numerous other proposals.

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:Postdoctoral opportunity in History of Islam/Arabic Studies\, Leiden University\, February 2024-2027
DESCRIPTION:Scholars have long recognized that although Shiʿi claims emerged early in Islamic history\, Imami Shiʿism took a couple of centuries to crystallise. Scholarship on Shiʿism has tended to focus on doctrine\, but hitherto there has been little research into the institutions and social networks of early Imami Shiʿism. The project aims to propose the first rigorously historical model for how\, when and why a distinctive Imami Shiʿi Imamate emerged and developed as an institution. The ImBod project will frame the Imamate as a set of social interactions between the Imams\, and the community who venerated them\, within the broader networks of the early Islamic empire. Members of the ImBod project team will be assigned particular thematic spheres in order to identify and study the networks\, actors\, institutions\, spaces\, objects and processes through which the Imamate was mediated and performed within the Imami Shiʿi community and beyond. \nFor eligibility criteria and application details\, see here.

SUMMARY:Fellowship: Kamel Center at Yale Law School\, 2024-2025
DESCRIPTION:The Abdallah S. Kamel Center for the Study of Islamic Law and Civilization at the Yale Law School invites applications for its 2024-2025 residency research fellowships. While the directors entertain applications from mid-career scholars working on specific writing projects\, the fellowships are primarily designed to bring promising junior scholars to the Law School in order to advance their academic research relating to Islamic law and civilization and to contribute to the intellectual life of the Law School and Yale University more broadly. \nThe Abdallah S. Kamel Center is seeking scholars from diverse backgrounds and academic disciplines who have completed or are near completion of an advanced degree (e.g.\, Ph.D.\, J.S.D.\, D.Phil.) and whose work engages with the intellectual and social history of Islam\, Islamic legal and political theory\, or law in contemporary Muslim societies. Scholars working or studying abroad are welcome to apply. The one-year residence research fellowships carry a stipend in the range of USD $50\,000 to $65\,000 commensurate with education and experience. \nWhile fellows will devote the majority of their time to individual research\, they are expected to participate in all the activities of the Abdallah S.
