- Justin Jones (University of Oxford) co-edited a Special Issue of Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society with Ali Usman Qasmi, now at the Lahore University of Management and Sciences, Pakistan. The volume was based on a conference on the same theme organised by the editors held in 2011; the conference was funded by the British Academy, and both editors determined the theme of the conference and identified the speakers. The volume comprises a foreword by both editors; an article-length ‘Introduction’ by another author; and eight further research papers, all of which were first presented at the conference. All the essays that appeared in the volume were comprehensively edited by the two editors. In total, Jones contributed at least half the editorial work in terms of articulating the volume’s thematic vision, designing the conference and working with contributors to bring the volume together. All essays were independently peer-reviewed by external reviewers, in line with the journal’s normal selection process. Subsequently, the volume was also published unchanged as an edited book: The Shi‘a in Modern South Asia: Religion, History and Politics (Cambridge University Press: New Delhi, 2014).
Justin Jones also contributed one article to this volume: “Shi‘ism, Humanity and Revolution in Twentieth-Century India: Selfhood and Politics in the Husainology of ‘Ali Naqi Naqvi” (pp. 415-434). This article is a piece of single-authored independent research, and despite being written by the Special Issue editor, was independently peer-reviewed by external reviewers before inclusion, in line with the journal’s editorial requirements.
