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: UCHV Fellows in Law and Normative Thinking for Academic Year 2024-25\, Princeton University\, February 2\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:UCHV Fellows in Law and Normative Thinking for Academic Year 2024-25\nThe University Center for Human Values invites practitioners\, faculty members of any discipline\, independent scholars\, and lawyers to apply for visiting residential fellowships for 2024-25. Scholars are expected to reside in or around Princeton or demonstrate to the program’s satisfaction the ability to be on campus daily. The fellowship typically extends from September 1 to June 1. The Princeton University rank is Visiting Research Scholar. Fellows are paid monthly in nine equal installments. \nFellows will devote the full academic year to research\, discussion\, and scholarly collaboration on topics related to law and normative inquiry. Under exceptional circumstances\, fellowships for one semester may be considered.  Scholars will participate in a seminar for Law-Engaged Graduate Students (which involves some mentoring of JD/PhD students) and in activities organized by Law@Princeton. \nApplicants must have a doctorate\, juris doctor\, or an equivalent professional degree at the time of submission. \nThe selection committee looks closely at the research proposal. Successful applicants should demonstrate substantial expertise in law-related matters\, but in explaining research projects\, applicants should write for an audience of academic generalists (not necessarily lawyers). The selection committee will evaluate applicants on: the quality of their achievements in their field of specialization and their ability to benefit from the activities of the program; the quality and significance of their proposed research projects and writing sample; the contributions they are likely to make in the future to legal scholarship and practice and their ability to contribute to legal studies at Princeton. The program seeks to appoint scholars with mutual synergies and a balance between senior and junior scholars\, domestic and international scholars\, and those based in law schools or in the practice of law and those who are home are in other disciplines. \nHow to apply\nCandidates must submit an online application. \nRequired materials:\n\nA cover letter explaining your intellectual trajectory and suitability for the fellowship\nA CV\nA research statement of maximum 1\,000 words for a project to be pursued in the course of the fellowship\nA writing sample consisting of a single article or chapter (published or unpublished)\nContact information for two referees\n\nThe deadline for submission is February 2\, 2024\, 11:59 p.m. EST. Letters of reference should be submitted by the priority deadline of February 9\, 2024\, 11:59 p.m. EST. The anticipated start date is on or about September 1\, 2024\, with some limited flexibility. \nThe work location for this position is in-person on campus at Princeton University. \nFor more about UCHV\, see https://uchv.princeton.edu/. \nFor more about PLANT\, see uchv.princeton.edu/academic-programs/… . \nAnd for more about an umbrella program called Law@Princeton that hosts several different legal initiatives\, see https://law.princeton.edu/

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: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: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. By also considering the political and economic reasons behind these legal changes\, including how new administrations used them for nation-building\, the roundtable offers new perspectives on legal continuity and adaptation in post-Ottoman regions. \nThe link for this roundtable is available 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>
