SUMMARY:2024 Annual Meeting: American Society of Comparative Law\, Texas A&M University School of Law Fort Worth\, Texas\, October 17-19\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“Welcome to the 2024 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Comparative Law (ASCL)! This event represents the Society’s yearly premiere gathering\, and its objective is to give Comparative Law scholars the opportunity to meet and present their cuttingedge work\, share news in the field\, and network with each other. No need to say\, the coordination of such a large event always relies on many minds and hands. We sincerely thank all presenters\, chairs\, and participants for their support and commitment to travel\, present\, and attend the Annual Meeting. We also extend our warm gratitude to this year’s local host\, Texas A&M University School of Law\, and the many colleagues from across the United States and beyond who helped organize this year’s program. Likewise\, we would like to thank the staff and students who helped during the several months preceding the event. The Annual Meeting would not be possible without their tireless work. Following last year’s success\, this year’s Annual Meeting is again organized in coordination with the 2024 Younger Comparativists Committee Meeting (YCC)\, which will take place on Thursday\, before the Annual Meeting\, and again on Saturday\, after the conclusion of the Annual Meeting. We encourage all Annual Meeting participants to join the YCC or part of it to provide feedback to junior scholars. This is an integral part of our mission\, and we are delighted to support the scholars who represent the future of our important field of research. We trust you will find the next three days insightful and enjoy discussing Comparative Law-related topics with friends\, old and new. Thank you again for enriching the house of knowledge with your research and works-in-progress!” \nFor the annual meeting’s program\, please visit 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:Call for Proposals: Elements Series on Law and Religion\, The Center for the Study of Law and Religion\, October 31\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \nThe Center for the Study of Law and Religion is accepting book proposals for a new “Elements Series on Law and Religion” currently under discussion with Cambridge University Press. We are particularly interested in receiving proposals related to Islamic Law. \n Cambridge has already embarked on several such Elements Series on different themes\, described here. Each Elements Series is comprised of 30-50 short volumes\, with each volume 30\,000 to 40\,000 words all inclusive. Each volume is made available on-line in various formats and with print options. The volumes in each Element Series are thematically related\, and together provide comprehensive coverage of a topic\, while also mapping scholarly frontiers or taking up new questions. Each volume in the Series\, however\, is a free-standing entry\, and it moves into production when it’s ready – the process takes approximately 12 weeks from final manuscript to publication. \n Our “Elements Series” will be developed on the broad topic of “law and religion.” The topic of each volume in the series is largely up to the author but must be able to be treated comprehensively in an authoritative and accessible manner with light footnoting. We invite proposals of 150-200 words total\, together with a link to your updated biography. Proposals will be reviewed on receipt by CSLR Faculty Director John Witte and CSLR Executive Director Whittney Barth\, and then collectively by our Cambridge University Press editor. \n If you are interested\, please send your proposal and biographical link to CSLR Chief of Staff Amy Wheeler (amy.wheeler@emory.edu). We would ideally like to have proposals by October 31\, 2024\, but interested authors who cannot meet that deadline are encouraged to be in touch to share their interest.

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.

She spent the years 1962-1974 in Algeria\, where she worked as a journalist and a functionary in Algeria’s first post-independence government.

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: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.
