Codification on the Swahili coast
This project workshop will explore the phenomenon of Islamic codification on the Swahili coast in the late pre-colonial and colonial period.
Main content
While the edicational, ritual and religious canon is the main object of PhD student Mohamed Noor in the work package A in the CanCode project, this workshop supplements this ongoing research by focusing on the field of the judiciary and how the codes, in the widest sense, were negotiated, produced, sanctioned and used by actors in the judicial field.听
The participants are Elke Stockreiter (American University,Washington DC), Mohamed Noor (UiB)(zoom), Pelle Valtenin Olsen (UiB), Mahmood Kooria (Leiden University), Kubra Nugay (UiB), Anne Bang (UiB), Knut Vik酶r (UiB), Eirik Hovden (UiB)
