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.

SUMMARY:Talk: “Empire of Refugees: North Caucasian Muslims and the Late Ottoman State” by Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky\, UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies\, October 29\, 2024 @ 7 – 10 pm ET
DESCRIPTION:Where: Bunche Hall\, Rm 10383 \nWhen: Tuesday\, October 29\, 2024 / 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM (Pacific Time) \n“Between the 1850s and World War I\, the Ottoman Empire welcomed about a million Muslim refugees from Russia. 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.

SUMMARY:2024 Annual Meeting: American Society of Comparative Law\, Texas A&M University School of Law Fort Worth\, Texas\, October 17-19\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \n“Welcome to the 2024 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Comparative Law (ASCL)! This event represents the Society’s yearly premiere gathering\, and its objective is to give Comparative Law scholars the opportunity to meet and present their cuttingedge work\, share news in the field\, and network with each other. No need to say\, the coordination of such a large event always relies on many minds and hands. We sincerely thank all presenters\, chairs\, and participants for their support and commitment to travel\, present\, and attend the Annual Meeting. We also extend our warm gratitude to this year’s local host\, Texas A&M University School of Law\, and the many colleagues from across the United States and beyond who helped organize this year’s program. Likewise\, we would like to thank the staff and students who helped during the several months preceding the event. The Annual Meeting would not be possible without their tireless work. Following last year’s success\, this year’s Annual Meeting is again organized in coordination with the 2024 Younger Comparativists Committee Meeting (YCC)\, which will take place on Thursday\, before the Annual Meeting\, and again on Saturday\, after the conclusion of the Annual Meeting. We encourage all Annual Meeting participants to join the YCC or part of it to provide feedback to junior scholars. This is an integral part of our mission\, and we are delighted to support the scholars who represent the future of our important field of research. We trust you will find the next three days insightful and enjoy discussing Comparative Law-related topics with friends\, old and new. Thank you again for enriching the house of knowledge with your research and works-in-progress!” \nFor the annual meeting’s program\, please visit here.

SUMMARY:Fellowship: Thomas C. Grey Fellowship\, Stanford Law School\, 2025-2026
DESCRIPTION:Stanford Law School invites applications for the Thomas C. Grey Fellowship. Grey Fellows teach legal writing\, research\, and analysis to small sections of first-year students each quarter\, while writing their own scholarship in preparation for entering the market for teaching positions at law schools across the country. Over the last fifteen years\, we have had a near- perfect record in placing Fellows in tenure track faculty positions. We are committed to developing a diverse set of scholars and strongly encourage applications from individuals with a broad range of life experiences\, perspectives\, and backgrounds who would contribute to \nStanford Law School and the legal academia. \nPractice background and teaching. Applicants must have a J.D. and at least two years of law practice or clerkship experience in the US before starting the fellowship. Many Fellows have substantially more law practice experience. Fellows teach two courses\, both taught as simulations. In the fall\, Fellows teach Legal Writing\, a two-unit course in which thirty students write a persuasive brief. In the winter and spring\, Fellows teach Federal Litigation in a Global Context\, a course split into two 2-unit quarters that models pre-trial motion practice in a transnational lawsuit. Eighteen students write and argue two motions. Fellows give students written and in-person feedback on legal writing and oral argument. Fellows receive teacher training and instructional materials. Many Fellows go on to win teaching awards as law professors. \nMentorship. Faculty mentors help Fellows develop their scholarship and place favorably on the teaching market. Faculty on the Legal Research and Writing Committee advise Fellows on their research and match Fellows with faculty mentors in related fields. Fellows participate in: weekly workshops\, one with faculty\, another with other Fellows\, junior faculty\, and JD/PhDs; and the annual Grey Fellows Forum\, a spring gathering with our community of current and former Fellows who share feedback on works-in-progress and mentor Fellows preparing for the academic job market. Fellow jobtalk papers have been published at flagship law reviews\, including at Harvard\, Chicago\, Stanford\, NYU\, and Georgetown. And in the year Fellows go on the teaching market\, faculty members review FAR forms\, CVs\, and research agendas\, and moot job talks and interviews. \nSalary and appointment. The fellowship is full-time with an expected starting base pay of $85\,000. Fellows are also provided an annual budget for professional development and research\, such as attending conferences and hiring research assistants. The initial term of appointment is one year beginning in August. Fellows are expected\, on reappointment\, to serve a second and third year. Reappointments are granted on demonstrated excellence in teaching\, citizenship in the legal writing program and at the law school\, and progress on legal scholarship. \nApply by October 15. To apply\, please upload your application here. Contact Alicia Thesing\, Director of the Legal Research and Writing program\, at athesing@stanford.edu\, with any questions.

SUMMARY:ILSS: “Ādamiyyah: I am Therefore I have Rights” with Recep Senturk\, Program in Islamic Law
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, October 8\, 2024\, at 12:30-1:30PM US EST via Zoom\, Professor Recep Senturk (Hamad Bin Khalifa University) will present Ādamiyyah: I am Therefore I have Rights (Usul Academy Press\, 2025). This book explores the concept of Ādamiyya and Huqūq al-Ādamiyyīn in Islamic law and its implications in practice from the time of Prophet Muhammad\, His Predecessors\, the Umayyad and Abbasid periods\, Andalusia and the Islamic rule in India. Special attention is paid to how the concept of Ādamiyya was used in relation to non-Ahl al-Kitāb people such as Buddhists\, Hindus\, and Zoroastrians under Islamic rule. The book argues that the universalistic view of Islamic law based on the concept of Ādamiyya went into eclipse with the rise of nation states in the Muslim and it needs to be revived again. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Call for Papers (CFP): “Islamic Law and Social Movements\,” 2025 Annual Meeting of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS)\, September 9\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Deadline for Submission: September 9\, 2024 \nPanel Sponsor: Islamic Law Section of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) Panel Co-Sponsor: International Law Section of the AALS \nThe Islamic Law Section of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS)\, in co-sponsorship with the International Law Section\, invites submission of paper abstracts for a panel entitled Islamic Law and Social Movements at the AALS annual meeting in San Francisco in January 2025. \nThe panel will explore the relationship and interconnections between Islamic law and social movements in the past\, present\, or future. Islamic law often provides contested terrain upon which debates about social and legal issues and advocacy for change are forged. Narratives\, conceptions\, arguments\, debates\, and practices of “Islamic law” have played and continue to play diverse roles within social movements in both Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority contexts. The Section invites papers for this panel that examine the ways in which Islamic law is constructed\, imagined\, mobilized\, and debated by or within social movements; the role of Islamic law and discourse on Islamic law in social movements; the ways in which grievances\, rights\, and demands are framed through Islamic law; the ways in which Islamic law is deployed or negotiated in movement lawyering or in legal strategy; and the relationship between Islamic law and community formation\, identity formation\, or mobilization. Papers from a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to legal studies\, including law\, sociology\, anthropology\, politics\, and history\, are welcomed. The Section particularly encourages submissions focused on the 2025 conference theme\, “Courage in Action.” \nPaper abstracts of no more than 500 words should be sent to Dana Lee (dlee@law.uci.edu) no later than Monday\, September 9\, 2024. The Section welcomes submissions from academics at all levels: tenured\, pre-tenure\, non-tenure track\, fellows\, visiting assistant professors\, adjunct professors\, graduate students\, etc. You do not need to be based at a law school to submit a paper proposal. Note that presenters will be expected to pay the membership and registration fees to attend AALS (www.aals.org).
