SUMMARY:Event: "Beyond Digitization : the Emergence of Digital Manuscript Studies" (18 Dec | SOAS University of London)
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Digitization : the Emergence of Digital Manuscript StudiesManuscripts have been digitized by the thousands… but\, now what?Although many scholars have been making good use of digitized manuscriptsfor ordinary philological purposes\, there is much more that can be done with them.In this talk\, Dr Cornelis van Lit (Utrecht University\, The Netherlands) will highlight some use cases\, drawing fromhis new book “Among Digitized Manuscripts: Philology\, Codicology\, Paleography in a Digital World” (www.lwcvl.com/Among).While Dr van Lit derives his examples from his own field of Islamic studies\,the same approach remains applicable to any research in the humanities\, in which there is no access to the material manuscript\, nor to the plain text\, but only to images of text.Dr van Lit will project us in a future\, when we will not even depend anymore on the manuscript digital surrogates but merely want the data and metadata of those ‘born-digital manuscripts’.Curious about the physical manuscripts themselves?There will be an exclusive opportunity for the event’s attendees to viewa selection of the SOAS manuscripts from the Islamicate worldin the Library Special Collections Reading Room (SCRR\, Level F) after the talk.Places being limited\, they will be attributed on first-come\, first-served basis.A sign-up sheet will be available on the day.4.00pm-5.30pm\, Wednesday 18 December 2019Venue: Room RG01\, SOAS University of London\, Thornhaugh Street\, Russell Square\, London WC1H 0XG.This lecture is free to attend but booking is required at  https://tinyurl.com/MSS-DH-VanLit-at-SOAS

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: "International Workshop ‘Media Representations of Law and Justice: Middle Eastern Perspectives\,’"  (12−13 March 2020 | Germany)
DESCRIPTION:Call for Papers for the International Workshop ‘Media Representations of Law and Justice: Middle Eastern Perspectives’08 JAN 2020SUBMISSION DEADLINEThe Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA) in cooperation with the Institute of Oriental Studies\, University of Leipzig is pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the international and interdisciplinary Workshop ‘Media Representations of Law and Justice: Middle Eastern Perspectives’ in Germany at the Institute of Oriental Studies\, University of Leipzig\, 12 − 13 March 2020.Law and/in popular culture has been an emerging field of research (at least) since the 1980s. Its initial prominence was primarily limited to North America – the main hub of popular legal culture which\, through various kinds of movies and television shows\, impinged on what people generally believe about law and legal institutions. By now\, the interrelation of law and popular culture has made its way into European legal academia. In addition\, transnational comparative studies on how law and justice are portrayed in movies and fictional television dramas have been conducted\, providing additional insight for both scholars of law and media studies.At the same time\, the law and/in popular culture discourse has been largely restricted to Europe and North America. Research usually centers on ‘Western’ legal culture and its cinematic/televised representations. Oftentimes\, non-‘Western’ legal traditions and systems are only portrayed as supposed counter-examples to the liberal state under the rule of law that is promoted in dominant popular culture.The AGYA workshop on ‘Media Representations of Law and Justice: Middle Eastern Perspectives’ moves away from this established regional focus by including Middle Eastern legal regimes and their respective local media depictions. We particularly invite contributions on Arabic-language cinematic and television formats (including those on more recent streaming services and social media sites) screening legal system in either contemporary or historical perspective. We also welcome papers on legal dramas from neighboring countries in the ‘Greater Middle East’\, as well as comparative studies to allow for broader transnational perspectives. By enabling a conversation not only between different regional sites of media production\, but also among various disciplines\, a range of analytical methods will be tested and employed to analyze the means and ends to which a legal system is portrayed in popular formats.Topics\, themes\, and issues to be explored include\, but are not confined to the following: Cultural representations of domestic legal systems and legal traditions in contemporary courtroom dramas; The political framework in which legal dramas are produced and its impact on both content and format; Audiences\, viewers\, and their changing perceptions of the law; The impact of satellite TV and online streaming services on legal dramas\, their production\, and content; Plots\, characters\, and sociopolitical critique in legal dramas.The workshop is organized by AGYA member Lena-Maria Möller (Institute of Oriental Studies\, University of Leipzig/Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law\, Hamburg) and AGYA alumna Hanan Badr (Institute for Media and Communication Studies\, Freie Universität Berlin). Travel costs and accommodation for confirmed speakers will be covered by AGYA. Funding is still subject to approval.Those interested in presenting papers are invited to send a tentative title\, an abstract of around 300-500 words\, and a short biography to Lena-Maria Möller (moeller@mpipriv.de) by 08 January 2020.Notifications of acceptance will be announced by 15 January 2020 and draft papers will be due by 15 February 2020. The workshop language will be English. The organizers aim to publish the papers either as an edited volume or as a special issue of an academic journal.

SUMMARY:Call for Proposals: Colophons in Middle Eastern Manuscripts Workshop (12-13 Jun\, 2020 | Princeton)
DESCRIPTION:Colophons in Middle Eastern Manuscripts WorkshopVenue Institute for Advanced Study\, Princeton (White Levy Room)Date: June 12–13\, 2020Conveners: Sabine Schmidtke and George A. Kiraz (Institute for Advanced Study)The colophon\, the ultimate or “crowing touch” paragraphs of a manuscript\, provides readers with a the historical context in which the scribe produced the manuscript. At its most fundamental level\, the colophon gives us the “metadata” of the manuscript: who was the scribe? When and where was the manuscript produced? For whom was it produced and who paid for it?But colophons are far more rich. They are literary works on their own right\, having a style and rhetoric independent of the main literary text of the manuscript. In addition\, colophons provide historical facts otherwise lost to histories: wars\, earthquakes\, religious events\, etc.The aim of this workshop is to bring together scholars from various disciplines to study colophons in Middle Eastern manuscripts in various languages\, including\, but not limited to\, Arabic\, Armenian\, Coptic\, Ethiopian\,* Hebrew\, Persian\, and Syriac. Topics may include: The colophon as a literary genre. Typology of colophons. The formulaic structure of colophons. Factoids found in colophons. How can colophons or confirm help us reconstruct historical events? Colophons born in print publications or born digital.Scholars interested in participating may send via email a proposal between 750 and 1\,000 words. Proposals are to focus on the colophon (i.e. not a study of the main literary text of the manuscript). Comparative analyses across traditions is encouraged but not required.Submission deadline is January 15\, 2020. Submissions are to be sent via email directly to George A. Kiraz at gkiraz@ias.edu.Scholars are expected to fund their travel to/from and accommodation in Princeton. The Institute will provide meals and a conference celebratory dinner. Speakers will be invited to contribute to a collected volume on an agreed-upon theme.

SUMMARY:Winter Term International Travel Grants: Independent Clinicals\, Harvard Law School
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Law School is fortunate to have funding to enable students with serious individual research and independent clinical projects (i.e.\, those not part of a clinical course) to spend time abroad during the winter term. In a typical winter\, HLS supports more than 75 students carrying out such work in some 35 nations; in addition\, over the years the Law School has supported scores of other students taking courses that entailed spending time abroad in the winter term. Students applying for funding to support individual research / writing and independent clinical projects will be awarded funding based on the quality of the application they present to the Law School’s grant selection committee\, and applications must include a letter from the student’s faculty advisor. It would be very helpful if any recommendations you provide are as detailed as possible about the substance of the project and the student’s capacity to carry it out in the time allotted.  Information about the winter term international travel grant program can be found on the International Legal Studies webpage\, at this link. In addition\, some research programs offer funding for winter term travel and have their own application processes (of which students are notified). Typically\, the expectation (of a serious letter of recommendation) will be the same. Details:HLS J.D. and LL.M. students may apply to participate in a two-credit independent clinical during Winter Term\, which involves working 40 hours per week under the supervision of an on-site attorney and in coordination with an HLS faculty sponsor.To be eligible for credit\, Winter Term projects must meet HLS’ criteria for an independent clinical placement. For more information\, please see the Office of Clinical and Pro Bono Program’s web page about Independent Clinicals.

SUMMARY:Workshop: “Mosques\, power and politics” (22-24 January 2020\, University of Copenhagen)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Programme  “Mosques\, power and politics”  Copenhagen\, Denmark  22-24 January 2020  Venue: University of Copenhagen\, South Campus  Karen Blixens Plads 8\, 2300 Copenhagen\, Denmark Workshop theme:For this workshop we address the changing politics of mosque building\, the different kinds of conflict surrounding the building of a mosque and the symbolic appropriation of territory by the mosque. The building of a mosque can be seen as a social transformative interaction and accounts for the many stakeholders involved in the construction of mosques (e.g.\, Muslim organizations\, international donors\, local politicians\, anti-Islam groups and other critics). As such\, the mosques and the politics of construction can be seen as microcosms of the discourse on Muslims in a country.Concerns with security\, extremism and visibility of Muslim institutions in the Nordic and Western European countries are causing “existential” difficulties for mosques. The state criticizes mosques and change the politics of religion with reference to incidents in mosques as in Denmark in 2016-18. This seminar will examine the power strategies used by national and local politicians\, examining national legislation and municipal planning on mosques\, and will investigate a number of concrete cases of contested mosque building. The operable questions are what are the political power dynamics at play in mosque building? Do the mosques challenge the existing models of state-religion-relations?

Hotel and meals are already booked. Please contact Niels Valdemar Vinding\, lbm993@hum.ku.dk\, if you have expenses.Workshop seriesThis is the second in a series of three workshops on Nordic Mosques in Context – On the institutional embeddedness of Islam in the Nordic countries sponsored by a NOS-HS Workshop Grant. The third seminar is on “Mosques\, communities and finance\,” in Oslo\, Norway\, August 2020. The purpose of the workshops is to investigate the dimensions of institutional embeddedness of Islam in the Nordic countries as mosques seek to be responsive institutions for the needs of Muslims\, challenged by economic\, legal and political alternatives. We are considering mosques as the focal point of Islam in economic\, legal and political terms\, the primary objective of this research project is to study the institutional strategies of mosques and Muslims in embedding Islam in the Nordic wider societies. The key here is to see to what extend mosques are responsive institutions for the needs of Muslim in soliciting the wider public\, or if Muslims go beyond the mosque in the pursuit of other more apt forms of institutionalized religious life such as invoking Islamic economic\, legal and political responses. We argue that the entire future of mosques depends on whether they can give and refine responsive and meaningful answers and make them coherent with the economic\, legal and politics questions that Muslims seek the answers to. As such\, this may result in the secularization of mosques as they negotiate and find their place in society. Will these new or re-interpreted institutional expressions clash with the general public\, will they fail Muslims or will they be viable alternatives for embedding Islam in the Nordic countries?A call for the workshop “Mosques\, communities and finance\,” in August 2020\, in Oslo\, Norway\, will be circulated in February\, 2020.On behalf of the convenersBrian Arly Jacobsen\, assoc. professor\, Sociology of Religion\, University of Copenhagen\, Denmark Torkel Brekke\, Research Professor\, Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO)\, Norway Göran Larsson\, Professor in Religious Studies\, Göteborg University\, Sweden Niels Valdemar Vinding\, post.doc.\, Islamic Studies\, University of Copenhagen\, Denmark We are funded by a NOS-HS Workshop Grant as “Nordic Mosques in Context – On the institutional embeddedness of Islam in the Nordic countries” (Grant No. 2018-00085).

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: Thirteenth International Junior Faculty Forum (Oct 2020 | Stanford Law School)
DESCRIPTION:Call for Papers: Thirteenth International Junior Faculty Forum\, Stanford Law SchoolSponsored by Stanford Law School\, the International Junior Faculty Forum (IJFF) was established to stimulate the exchange of ideas and research among younger legal scholars from around the world. We live today in a global community– in particular\, a global legal community. The IJFF is designed to foster transnational legal scholarship that surmounts barriers of time\, space\, legal traditions and cultures\, and to create an engaged global community of scholars. The Thirteenth IJFF will be held at Stanford Law School in fall 2020 (the exact date has not yet been fixed; but it will probably be in October).In order to be considered for the 2020 International Junior Faculty Forum\, authors must meet the following criteria: Citizen of a country other than the United States Current academic institution is outside of the United States Not currently a student in the United States Have held a faculty position or the equivalent\, including positions comparable to junior faculty positions in research institutions\, for less than seven years as of 2020; and Last degree earned less than ten years before 2020.Papers may be on any legally relevant subject and can make use of any relevant approach: they can be quantitative or qualitative\, sociological\, anthropological\, historical\, or economic. The host institution is committed to intellectual\, methodological\, and regional diversity\, and welcomes papers from junior scholars from all parts of the world. Please note\, however\, that already published papers are not eligible for consideration. We particularly welcome work that is interdisciplinary.Those who would like to participate in the IJFF must first submit an abstract of the proposed paper. Abstracts should be no more than two (2) pages long and must be in English. The abstract should provide a roadmap of your paper—it should tell us what you plan to do\, lay out the major argument of the paper\, say something about the methodology\, and indicate the paper’s contribution to scholarship. The due date for abstracts is Friday\, February 7\, 2020\, although earlier submissions are welcome. To submit your abstract\, please complete our abstract submission form. Abstracts must have the name of the author(s) and title of the abstract on the document that is submitted to be considered for the forum.After the abstracts have been reviewed\, we will invite\, no later than the end of March 2020\, a number of junior scholars to submit full papers of no more than 15\,000 words\, electronically\, in English\, by a deadline of approximately mid-May 2020. Please include a word count for final papers. There is no fixed number of papers to be invited\, but in the past years\, up to 50 invitations have been issued from among a much larger number of abstracts.An international committee of legal scholars will review the papers and select a small number of them\, but at least seven\, for full presentation at the conference\, where two senior scholars will comment on each paper. After the remarks of the commentators\, all of the participants\, junior and senior alike\, will have a chance to join in the discussion. One of the most valuable—and enjoyable—aspects of the Forum\, in the opinion of many participants\, has been the chance to meet junior and senior scholars and to talk about your work and theirs.Participants are encouraged to seek funding from their home institutions. In default\, Stanford will cover expenses of travel\, including airfare\, lodging\, and food for participants. Questions about the forum should be directed to ijff@law.stanford.edu.

SUMMARY:Weatherhead Center Funding for Harvard College Students
DESCRIPTION:All applications must be submitted via CARAT\, the Centralized Application for Research and Travel electronic application platform. The application deadline for these opportunities is February 12\, 2020. Thesis Research Grants for Undergraduates: The Weatherhead Center runs an annual competition to award 15 to 20 travel grants to support the summer field research of Harvard undergraduates. These grants\, ranging from $1\,000 to $6\,500\, are designed to help finance travel in connection with senior thesis research on international affairs. All grant recipients become Undergraduate Associates of the Weatherhead Center for the year following their summer research and present their research findings at a conference organized by the Center early in the spring term of their senior year. Summer Travel Grants are awarded to Harvard undergraduates who plan to conduct research on topics related to the core interests of the Weatherhead Center. This research focuses on international\, transnational\, global\, and comparative national topics—that may be either contemporary or historical in nature—including the study of countries and regions other than the United States and the rigorous analysis of matters of public policy. Applicants should state explicitly how their research relates to these interests of the Center. Projects that are exclusively domestic—relating merely to characteristics internal to any single country\, without broader international implications—will not be funded. Most grants in the past have been awarded to students in the social sciences in concentrations including African and African American Studies\, Anthropology\, Economics\, Environmental Science and Public Policy\, Government\, History\, History and Literature\, History and Science\, Religion\, Social Studies\, and Sociology. However the Center also supports applicants in other fields whose research meets its research priorities. Prospective applicants should be thinking about their grant proposals now so that during or soon after break in early February\, they will have a well-crafted written proposal ready for their application. They should also begin to identify their letter writer and check in with them before break. A flyer with complete details is attached\, and the information is also on our web site at https://wcfia.harvard.edu/funding/student/undergraduate. The deadline is Monday\, February 12\, 2020\, and the application information for all Weatherhead Center grants is in CARAT.Canada Program Undergraduate Thesis Research Grants: The Center will award undergraduate thesis research grants of up to $6\,000 each for field research in Canada. Research topics must have at least a 50% is focus on Canada or Canadian issues. Recipients of the grants will be named Undergraduate Associates of the Weatherhead Center and are expected to present their thesis research at a conference in the spring semester before their theses are due. Requests for out-of-cycle support for nominal amounts\, designed to assist with unforeseen thesis-research expenses\, are considered on a case-by-case basis. Applicants for the Canada Grants should use the same CARAT grant application platform as our summer thesis research grants described above. The deadline is Monday\, February 12\, 2020\, and the application information for all Weatherhead Center grants is in CARAT.Questions about these programs or the application process may be directed to me\, Clare Putnam\, Weatherhead Center Coordinator of Student Programs\, cputnam@wcfia.harvard.edu or 617-495-9899.
