Particularly\, discussions of how micro-scale studies can inform our analysis of macro-level structures and processes operational in the history of the Middle East.\nAbout the Conference. Since its inception more than three decades ago\, the annual Middle East History and Theory Conference at the University of Chicago has earned a reputation as one of the premier academic gatherings in the field.

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. Kamel Center\, help in the administration of these activities\, and to the extent possible avail themselves of the Law School’s various workshops and course offerings. Fellows will be expected to be present at the law school when classes are in session\, which is from late August through mid-December 2024 and from mid-January until early May 2025. Support is available for fellows relocating to New Haven from abroad and the offer is contingent upon the ability of non-US citizens to obtain the necessary (J) visa. \nTo apply\, please submit the following materials by email to kamel.center@yale.edu by January 31\, 2024: \n\nA statement of interest (of no more than 1000 words) describing the applicant’s relevant experience\, interest in the Kamel Center\, and proposed research for the duration of the fellowship;\na current resume or CV;\nrelevant law school or graduate school transcripts; and\ntwo letters of recommendation to be sent by the recommenders directly to kamel.center@yale.edu.\nPlease also note that non-native speakers of English must provide proof of proficiency (e.g.\, a recent TOEFL score of over 100 or an advanced degree from an English-speaking university).\n\nFor any questions about the application process\, please contact bradley.hayes@yale.edu. \nDecisions will be made by March 1\, 2024.
