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: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: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 Papers: De Jure: Jurnal Hukum dan Syar’iah\, June 2024
DESCRIPTION:From the journal: \nThe development of Islamic law in modern countries is an interesting study material for scholars and policymakers. Islamic law is believed to be able to build a civil society. De Jure: Jurnal Hukum dan Syar’iah aims to be an active forum to discuss new ideas about the development of Islamic law in Muslim or non-Muslim countries. This journal is not a forum for normative reflection on Islamic law but it focuses on the implementation\, adaptation\, compromise\, or absorption of Islamic law in the national law of a country based on the principles of democracy\, justice\, rule of law\, tolerance\, and peace building. \nDe Jure: Jurnal Hukum dan Syar’iah focuses on contemporary issues in the field of Islamic law in indonesia and muslim countries with gender\, political\, and human rights approaches. \nThis journal provides insight into the contemporary dynamics of Islamic law by focusing on the question of how Islamic law adapts to various interests so that it becomes state law. This journal focuses on what Muslims actually do in order to accommodate Islamic law in a modern legal state.  De Jure considers that Islamic law can be used as a basis or source for the formulation of modern state law today. \nArticles that make a more general theoretical or comparative contribution are preferable to those that focus narrowly on a particular society. Papers based on a single country or case should also address issues relevant to the implementation of Islamic law outside the country in question. \nDe Jure: Jurnal Hukum dan Syar’iah published by the Sharia Faculty of Universitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang\,East Java\, Indonesia.  De Jure has been accredited (SINTA2) by The Ministry of Research Technology and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia (Decree of the Director General of Strengthening Research and Development Ministry of Research\, Technology and Higher Education No. 30/E/ KPT/2019). Since Volume 14 issue 2 2022\, the editors only accept and publish articles in English only. \nFor more information\, visit here.

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.
