  Refugees and the (Global) Cold War

  This international workshop will chart the intersection between refugee history and Cold War history. The most well-known connection between these two fields is the figure of the political refugee fleeing from the socialist East to the democratic West. As recent research in both areas has highlighted, however, forced displacement and Cold War competition were global phenomena. To explore the entanglement of refugee history and Cold War history in its full scope - including the above-mentioned anticommunist refugees, who remain a crucial part of the story - the workshop invites a broad range of contributions in terms of chronology, geography, and methodology, from PhD students, early career researchers, and established scholars.

  Second Law of Waqf Conference

  Following the first of three conferences on "The Law of Waqf" organised by Harvard Islamic Legal Studies Program which concentrated on the legal origins of waqf to Ottoman-era maturity (convened in May 2006), we are now solliciting abstracts for the second conference which will focus on colonial era law in relation to waqf (mid 19th century to the end of the colonial period). Both indigeneous and colonial law relating to the legal system of waqf are of interest to this conference which will occur in Cambridge, Mass., on 16-18 May 2008. All abstracts and papers are to be in English.
