Overview
Dr Adil Hasan Khan is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Melbourne Law School, where his research seeks to examine different traditions and modalities of legal education and to describe and recover repertoires of training in living well with authority, with others, and their laws. As part of this he is currently completing two main projects. One is a monograph on rival traditions of laws of nations in South Asia, and the displacement of an Indo-Islamic-Persian tradition by a European Colonial international law through transformations in legal education in South Asia over the course of the 19th and mid-20th centuries. Second, is a short monograph that seeks to describe international legal histories written from within the dominant tradition of critique as particular forms of spiritual exercises that seeks to train selves and others into achieving conversion, and thus into forms of life that struggle to live well with others, and their laws.
He completed his PhD in International Studies, with a specialisation in International Law and a minor in Anthropology and Sociology of Development, at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID) in Geneva (2010-2016). He has been a Senior Research Fellow with the Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness at MLS (2021-2022), a McKenzie Postdoctoral Fellow at MLS (2017-2020), a Residential Institute Fellow at the Institute for Global Law and Policy (IGLP), Harvard Law School (2016-2017), and a Junior Visiting Fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM), Vienna (2015-2016). Currently he is a Visitor at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), Princeton University (mid-2023).
