SUMMARY:Call for Applications: PIL-LC Research Fellowship\, 2022-2023
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 an inaugural 2022-2023 PIL–LC Research Fellowship (due: January 31\, 2022). 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\, SJD\, or the equivalent) 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 January 31\, 2022: \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. Evaluation criteria will include: \n\nThe significance of the contribution that the project will make to knowledge in the field\nThe quality or the promise of quality of the work\nThe quality of the conception\, definition\, organization and description of the project\nThe likelihood that the applicant will complete the project\nThe appropriateness of the research for Harvard/PIL resources and the Library of Congress collections\n\nPlease ensure that your references have ample time to consider and comment on your proposal. Letters of reference are more highly regarded if they address the specific proposed activity and how well the candidate is suited to undertake it\, as opposed to letters that verify character\, limit comments to previous work\, or make only general observations on the topic. \nFollowing a process of committee review\, applicants will be notified of decisions in March 2022. \nApply today!

SUMMARY:Program in Islamic Law Lecture :: Marion Katz\, "Wives\, Housework\, and the Changing Boundary between Islamic Law and Ethics"
DESCRIPTION:Marion Katz \, Professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies\, New York University\nLecture: “Wives\, Housework\, and the Changing Boundary between Islamic Law and Ethics” \nRecent years have seen a rise in the study of Islamic ethics\, from the “ethical turn” in the anthropology of Islam to the foundation of a Journal of Islamic Ethics.  The relationship between Islamic law and ethics has also become a focus of attention on both the historical and the constructive levels\, with some scholars equating the two and others (including some Muslim feminists) arguing that legal thought must be reconstructed to better reflect the ethical concerns of the revealed sources.  This paper argues that the issue of domestic labor is one where legal scholars historically perceived a disjuncture between what they understood the law to require and what they understood to be morally good.  Historical shifts in doctrine in this area have been interpreted as reflecting the evolution of social practice in Muslim communities; this paper argues that they can also be interpreted in terms of the variable relationships between scholars’ legal and ethical projects. Lunch will be provided. RSVP to PIL@law.harvard.edu.

SUMMARY:Lunch Talk :: Book Talk on Afghanistan Rising: Islamic Law and Statecraft between the Ottoman and British Empires (Harvard University Press\, 2017)
DESCRIPTION:Author: Faiz Ahmed\, Associate Professor of History\, Brown University \nModerator: Mariam Sheibani\, Visiting Fellow\, Program in Islamic Law\, Harvard Law School \nRespondent: Malika Zeghal\, Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Professor in Contemporary Islamic Thought and Life \nIn Afghanistan Rising\, Faiz Ahmed presents a vibrant account of Afghanistan\, the first Muslim-majority country to gain independence\, codify its own laws\, and ratify a constitution after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. He illustrates how turn-of-the-twentieth-century Kabul—far from being a landlocked wilderness or remote frontier—became a magnet for itinerant scholars and administrators shuttling between Ottoman and British imperial domains. Tracing the country’s longstanding but often ignored scholarly and educational ties to Baghdad\, Damascus\, and Istanbul as well as greater Delhi and Lahore\, Ahmed explains how the court of Kabul attracted thinkers eager to craft a modern state within the interpretive traditions of Islamic law and ethics\, or shariʿa\, and international norms of legality. Lunch will be provided. RSVP to PIL@law.harvard.edu.
