H-Levant is a moderated network for those interested in the scholarly discussion of the modern history and culture of the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean. Called "the Levant" in English and "al-mashriq" in Arabic, the region today includes Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Jordan and parts of Turkey. While most of the inhabitants are Arabic-speaking Muslims, there are significant populations of Jews and Christians. And although the peoples of the region are diverse, they possess a shared history stretching back millenia.
The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) Archives is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications for its 2019 fellowship program. In 2019, 6 fellowships will be awarded to senior scholars, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and independent researchers to conduct research in the JDC Archives, either in New York or in Jerusalem.

Transregional Academy: “Fragment – Power – Public: Narrative, Authority, and Circulation in Archival Work”
Colleagues, greetings.
I am working on the practice known as kiambin/kepini/kapini/kebin/kabin marriage in the Ottoman era and its different forms, be it between Franks and Ottoman (mostly Greek) women, between Christian subjects of the Ottoman empire or between Muslim men and non-Muslim women.
