SUMMARY:Islamic Law Speaker Series: “On Theocratic Criminal Law: The Rule of Religion and Punishment in Iran\,” Bahman Khodadadi\, Program in Islamic Law\, December 10\, 2024 @ 12:30 – 1:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, December 10\, 2024\, at 12:30-1:30PM US EST\, Dr. Bahman Khodadadi (Harvard Law School) will present On Theocratic Criminal Law: The Rule of Religion and Punishment in Iran (Oxford University Press\, 2024). This talk explores the roots and structures of the criminal law system of the world’s most prominent constitutional theocracy\, the Shīʿī theocracy. While discussing the processes of de-westernization which occurred in the wake of the Islamic Revolution\, this work examines how the Islamic conception of civil order and polity has been established within the legal and theological framework of the Iranian Constitution. The presentation offers a ‘rational reconstruction’ of the theocratic criminal law and offers a critical analysis of the way criminal law functions as the centerpiece of this mode of theocratic domination. It illuminates how this revelation-based\, punitive ideology functions\, how the current Islamic Penal Code mirrors prevailing Shīʿī jurisprudence. It also explores the jurisprudential principles and dynamic power of Shīʿī Islam not only as a driving force behind political and social change but as a force that has been capable of forging a whole theocratic legal system. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Fall 2024 Lester Lecture: “Polyvalence\, Ambiguity and the Politics of Islamic Studies” with  Dr. Marion Katz\, University of Colorado Boulder\, November 14\, 2024 @ 5:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:“Over the last several decades\, polyvalence (in the sense of the simultaneous recognition of multiple potentially valid meanings) and the related phenomenon of ambiguity have become established themes –and implicitly central values- of the western academic study of premodern Islam. Conversely\, accounts of the impact of colonialism and the transition to modern forms of Islamic thought have often thematized the rise of monovalent and unambiguous ways of reading and thinking. This trend has helpfully highlighted the diversity and richness of premodern Islamic thought. However\, it has also become a trope with unexamined political valences.” \n“Marion Katz is a Professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at New York University. Her books include Prayer in Islamic Thought and Practice (2013)\, Women in the Mosque: A History of Legal Thought and Social Practice (2014)\, and Wives and Work: Islamic Law and Ethics Before Modernity (2022).” \n“This event is free and open to the public. Snacks and refreshments will be served.” \nFor more details\, see here.

SUMMARY:Islamic Law Speaker Series: “Islamic Apocalyptic Jurisprudence: End-Times Law in Sunnī and Shīʿī Discourses” by Ali Rod Khadem\, Program in Islamic Law\, November 12\, 2024 @ 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, November 12\, 2024\, at 12:30-1:30PM US EST\, Professor Ali Rod Khadem (Suffolk University) will present “Islamic Apocalyptic Jurisprudence: End-Times Law in Sunnī and Shīʿī Discourses” (Islamic Law and Society 31 (3)\, 2024). This talk explores theories of the final legal system that will govern humanity in the End Times\, as envisioned in the apocalyptic discourses of several Sunnī and Shīʿī case studies. Key themes include the sources of law\, the role of jurists\, conflicts between Islamic\, Jewish\, Christian\, and international legal systems\, changes to classical Islamic legal theory\, and the introduction of new laws and policies in the apocalyptic era. The presentation will highlight how the lens of apocalypticism enables movements and thinkers to advocate for radical changes to the foundations and particulars of Islamic law\, while still claiming to operate within the boundaries of Islamic orthodoxy. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Talk: “Matriarchal Islam: Gendering Sharia in the Early Modern Indian Ocean” with Mahmood Kooria\, Harvard University\, November 4\, 2024 @ 6:00 – 7:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Location: S153\, CGIS South\, 1730 Cambridge St.\, Cambridge\, MA\n\n\nSponsors: Southeast Asia Initiative\, Harvard Asia Center\n\n\nMahmood Kooria\, School of History\, Classics and Archaeology\, University of Edinburgh\, UK \n“Millions of Muslims from Mozambique to Indonesia historically followed a social system in which women held significant influence over family\, community\, and broader cultural traditions. Beginning in the nineteenth century\, many Arabian and European jurists critiqued them as un-Islamic or unnatural\, contending that women heading families contradicted what they saw as Islamic or natural laws. Yet\, diverse forms of matrilineal\, matrifocal\, and matriarchal systems flourished among Muslims in Indonesia\, Malaysia\, India\, Sri Lanka\, the Comoros\, and Mozambique. Despite their geographical distances\, they were bound together by the Indian Ocean world. This system also served as a practical structure for engaging in maritime commerce\, enabling men to go on voyages as merchants\, sailors\, and itinerants\, while women managed property\, households\, and social affairs. Such economic and social stability empowered women with decision-making in personal and economic matters. This talk explores this matriarchal-maritime continuum\, examining its role in family\, community\, and economic life from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries\, prior to the widespread challenges to these practices. It further investigates how this system supported the mercantile networks of the Indian Ocean and contributed to the spread of Islam\, offering a different perspective to interpretations of its societies as patriarchal and patrilineal.” \nMahmood Kooria is a Lecturer in the History of the Indian Ocean World at the University of Edinburgh’s Department of History\, Scotland. Previously\, he has held teaching and research positions at Leiden University (the Netherlands)\, University of Bergen (Norway)\, Ashoka University (India)\, National Islamic University Jakarta (Indonesia)\, International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS)\, the African Studies Centre Leiden (ASCL)\, and the Dutch Institute in Morocco (NIMAR). His research focuses on the premodern Indian Ocean world\, Afro-Asian connections\, matriarchal and matrilineal Muslim societies\, and Islamic legal history. He has authored Islamic Law in Circulation: Shafi`i Texts across the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean (Cambridge\, 2022)\, and co-edited Malabar in the Indian Ocean World: Cosmopolitanism in a Maritime Historical Region (Oxford\, 2018) and Islamic Law in the Indian Ocean: Texts\, Ideas\, and Practices (Routledge\, 2022). \nFor more information\, including on how to RSVP (not required)\, please see here.

SUMMARY:Call for Proposals: Elements Series on Law and Religion\, The Center for the Study of Law and Religion\, October 31\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \nThe Center for the Study of Law and Religion is accepting book proposals for a new “Elements Series on Law and Religion” currently under discussion with Cambridge University Press. We are particularly interested in receiving proposals related to Islamic Law. \n Cambridge has already embarked on several such Elements Series on different themes\, described here. Each Elements Series is comprised of 30-50 short volumes\, with each volume 30\,000 to 40\,000 words all inclusive. Each volume is made available on-line in various formats and with print options. The volumes in each Element Series are thematically related\, and together provide comprehensive coverage of a topic\, while also mapping scholarly frontiers or taking up new questions. Each volume in the Series\, however\, is a free-standing entry\, and it moves into production when it’s ready – the process takes approximately 12 weeks from final manuscript to publication. \n Our “Elements Series” will be developed on the broad topic of “law and religion.” The topic of each volume in the series is largely up to the author but must be able to be treated comprehensively in an authoritative and accessible manner with light footnoting. We invite proposals of 150-200 words total\, together with a link to your updated biography. Proposals will be reviewed on receipt by CSLR Faculty Director John Witte and CSLR Executive Director Whittney Barth\, and then collectively by our Cambridge University Press editor. \n If you are interested\, please send your proposal and biographical link to CSLR Chief of Staff Amy Wheeler (amy.wheeler@emory.edu). We would ideally like to have proposals by October 31\, 2024\, but interested authors who cannot meet that deadline are encouraged to be in touch to share their interest.

In his new book\, Empire of Refugees: North Caucasian Muslims and the Late Ottoman State\, Dr. Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky examines how Circassian\, Chechen\, Dagestani\, and other refugees transformed the late Ottoman Empire and how the Ottoman government managed Muslim refugee resettlement. North Caucasians established hundreds of villages throughout the Ottoman Balkans\, Anatolia\, and the Levant. Most villages still exist today\, including what is now the city of Amman. Empire of Refugees demonstrates that the Ottoman government created a refugee regime that predated refugee systems set up by the League of Nations and the United Nations. It offers a new way to think about migration and displacement in the Middle East.” \nSee here for more details.
