We will look at the supports (paper and parchment)\, bindings (when applicable)\, inks\, gold\, and polychrome pigments (opaque watercolors) used to create these manuscripts. We will also discuss their development over time and throughout the regions of the Islamic lands. We have paired one reading to complete before the workshop\, Martin Levey’s “Mediaeval Arabic Bookmaking and its Relation to Early Chemistry and Pharmacology\,” which includes a translation of al-Mu’izz ibn Badis’s treatise “Book of the Staff of the Scribes and Implements of the Discerning” (Kitab ‘umdat al-kuttab wa ‘uddat dhawi al-albab) composed c. 1025 CE. \nThis first part of the workshop will take place in the Art Study Center for two hours\, 10:00am-12:00pm. Lunch will then be served. The final segment of the workshop\, 1:00-2:30pm\, will allow time for some of the participants to present a single leaf or single manuscript of their choosing to share with the cohort. This is not restricted to Qur’ans. Objects can be searched through the browse collections page of the Harvard Art Museums’ website. \nParticipation is by application and is limited to 15 graduate students. \nApplications will be accepted until March 31 and applicants will be notified whether they have been admitted by April 14. \nTo apply\, visit the link here.

Please put “Comparative Law Workshop” in the subject line of your email when submitting.  \nPapers must be submitted by February 5\, 2025. We will inform authors of our decision by March 5\, 2025. \nThe annual workshop is an important forum in which comparative law works in progress can be explored among colleagues in a serious and thorough manner that will be truly helpful to the respective authors. “Work in progress” means scholarship that has reached a stage at which it is substantial enough for serious discussion and critique but that has not yet appeared in print and can still be revised after the workshop\, if it has already been accepted for publication.   Appropriate work for the workshop includes law review articles\, book chapters\, and other similar genres. \nWe ask for only one contribution per author and also ask authors to limit their papers to 15\,000 words (including notes).   If the paper (or book chapter) is longer\, please indicate which 15\,000 word portion they would like to have read and discussed. \nOur objective is not only to provide an opportunity for the discussion of scholarly work but also to create the opportunity for comparative lawyers to get together for two days devoted to talking shop\, both in the sessions and outside. We hope that this will create synergy that fosters more dialogue\, cooperation\, and an increased sense of coherence for the discipline. \nThe participants in the workshop will consist of the paper authors\, designated commentators\, and scholars from the host institutions. The group will be kept small enough to sit around a large table and to allow serious discussion. The authors will not present their papers at the workshop. The papers will be distributed well in advance and every participant is expected to have read all of them before the workshop.   While it may be hard to ensure your own paper is below 15\,000 words\, you will appreciate the word limit when it comes to reading all of the other papers for the workshop. \nEach paper will be introduced and discussed first by two commentators before opening the discussion to the other workshop participants\, who are all expected to be prepared with comments on the circulated (and read) papers. The author of each paper will be given an opportunity to respond and ask questions of his or her own.   Each author whose work is featured in the workshop is expected to comment on the work of the other six authors and to participate in the discussion of their work.  \nThere are no plans to publish a collection of the workshop papers. Paper authors may seek publication if\, and wherever\, they wish. The goal of the workshop is to improve the work before publication. \nThe workshop begins with a Thursday evening reception and dinner on May 1\, runs all day Friday May 2 and ends shortly after lunch on Saturday May 3.   We expect all authors to attend the entire workshop to provide continuity in the discussions. \nThe Workshop is supported by the University of Illinois College of Law and the American Society of Comparative Law.   We will cover the costs of hotels and meals in Champaign-Urbana and some portion of authors’ travel costs\, up to $600 per person\, though with some flexibility to reimburse for more if warranted by cost and distance.

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. Capitalizing on its setting at a university with a strong tradition in Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies\, MEHAT has established itself as a major forum for emerging scholars across disciplines to share their research with peers\, receive constructive feedback\, and establish fruitful academic relationships. Participants come from North America\, Europe\, and the Middle East\, and they have traditionally included researchers at every stage of their careers. \nKeynote: The keynote speaker of this year’s conference is Professor Brahim El Guabli\, who will give a talk provisionally titled “Saharanism and its Afterlives: Historicizing a Universalizing Desert Imagination.” Brahim El Guabli is associate professor of Arabic studies and comparative literature at Williams College and currently associate professor of comparative thought and literature at Johns Hopkins University. El Guabli specializes in Amazigh\, Arabic\, and Francophone literatures\, but his interdisciplinary scholarship encompasses a variety of fields including memory\, indigeneity\, and environmental studies. El Guabli is the author of Moroccan Other-Archives: History and Citizenship after State Violence (Fordham University Press\, 2023)\, which has received honorable mention by the Middle East Librarians Association and is a finalist for the African Studies Association’s best book award. His second book\, entitled Saharan Imaginations: A History of Saharanism and its Radical Consequences\, is forthcoming with the University of California Press. He is currently completing a third monograph entitled Literature and Indigeneity: Imazighen’s Construction of a Literary Field (University of Michigan Press). Using untapped primary sources in Tamazight\, Darija\, and Arabic\, this book unsettles the current historicization of Tamazghan literature by rewriting the region’s literary history from an Indigenous Amazigh perspective.   El Guabli is co-founder and co-editor of the Amazigh Studies series with Georgetown University Press and of the independent peer-reviewed Tamazgha Studies Journal. \nApplications.
