  • Post-9/11 Brown and the Politics of Intercultural Improvisation A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE “Sound Come-Unity”: Post-9/11 Brown and the Politics of Intercultural Improvisation A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music by Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker September 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Deborah Wong, Chairperson Dr. Robin D.G. Kelley Dr. René T.A. Lysloff Dr. Liz Przybylski Copyright by Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker 2019 The Dissertation of Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgments Writing can feel like a solitary pursuit. It is a form of intellectual labor that demands individual willpower and sheer mental grit. But like improvisation, it is also a fundamentally social act. Writing this dissertation has been a collaborative process emerging through countless interactions across musical, academic, and familial circles. This work exceeds my role as individual author. It is the creative product of many voices. First and foremost, I want to thank my advisor, Professor Deborah Wong. I can’t possibly express how much she has done for me. Deborah has helped deepen my critical and ethnographic chops through thoughtful guidance and collaborative study. She models the kind of engaged and political work we all should be doing as scholars. But it all of the unseen moments of selfless labor that defines her commitment as a mentor: countless letters of recommendations, conference paper coachings, last minute grant reminders. Deborah’s voice can be found across every page. I am indebted to the musicians without whom my dissertation would not be possible. Priya Gopal, Vijay Iyer, Amir ElSaffar, and Hafez Modirzadeh gave so much of their time and energy to this project.

  • Terrorism and Global Mobility
    U.S. Versus Them The effects of the September 11 attacks on migration policy in the United States and how this has influenced visa issuances to migrants from Muslim-majority countries in particular Anke van Gils Bachelor Thesis Geography, Planning and Environment (GPE) Nijmegen School of I Management Radboud University Nijmegen July 2020 U.S. Versus Them The effects of the September 11 attacks on migration policy in the United States and how this has influenced visa issuances to migrants from Muslim-majority countries in particular Author Anke van Gils Student Number S1003915 Supervisor Prof. Dr. Henk van Houtum Bachelor Thesis Geography, Planning and Environment (GPE) Nijmegen School of Management Radboud University Nijmegen July 2020 II Summary This Bachelor’s thesis focusses on the impacts of the September 11 attacks on visa issuances to migrants from Muslim-majority countries, in comparison to those to migrants from other countries. Since post-9/11 political and media discourse have influenced the general view of Muslims toward a more negative image, one might expect that this has also had a restrictive influence on visa issuances to migrants from Muslim-majority countries. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to find out whether migration policies have indeed become more restrictive for Muslim migrants in particular, and whether we see this impact in a larger decrease in issuances to migrants from this category, as compared to other migrants. To answer this, various methods have been used. First, a general literature framework was established through examining existing literature on how foreign policies are being developed, how these have affected global mobility over the years, and on how framing and securitization processes can affect these policy developments.

Trump, et al Marc- Are you going to answer any questions at all on the refugees who are under investigation? If so, I would like to know: ■ The executive order (and AG Jeff Sessions in his remarks) said that "more than 300 persons who entered the United States as refugees are currently the subjects of [FBI] counterterrorism investigations." How many total counterterrorism investigations are there? ■ The EO uses the term "counterterrorism investigations." Can you please define that? CRS did a report in 2013 on FBI terrorism investigations that said "between March 2009 and March 2011, the Bureau opened 82,325 assessments" of groups or individuals who were being investigated for possible terrorism ties, and those assessments produced just under 2,000 full or preliminary investigations. Are the 300 refugees under full or preliminary investigation, or are they at the assessment level?

  • Executive Order 13769: America at Its Best and Its Worst
    Executive Order 13769: America at Its Best and Its Worst fpri.org/article/2017/02/executive-order-13769-america-best-worst/ February 1, 2017 E-Notes Kermit Roosevelt III Kermit Roosevelt is a professor of constitutional law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.Read More Sea-Tac Airport protest against immigration ban (Source: Dennis Bratland/WikiMedia Commons) The boat held 907 passengers, refugees fleeing war and religious persecution. Denied permission to land in the United States, it circled offshore while Coast Guard cutters prevented the captain from executing his last-ditch plan of grounding the vessel. After several days of fruitless negotiation, the ship turned away from America and back towards the refugees’ home continent. They would eventually be accepted in various countries there, but that safety proved illusory: several hundred would still die as war and genocide overtook their new homes. The boat was the German ocean liner St. Louis; the year was 1939. Despite Emma Lazarus’ words on the Statute of Liberty welcoming the hungry, tired, and poor, the United States has a checkered history when it comes to accepting refugees. Still, President Trump’s recent executive order 13769 stands out. The stated purpose of the order is “to protect the American people from terrorist attacks by foreign nationals admitted to the United States.” But as Ben Wittes argues, it is hard to understand the order as a good-faith attempt to pursue that goal. The order imposes a 90 day suspension on entry into the United States by persons from seven countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.

  • Exam Number 9, Page 1 EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER
    EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW: HOW EXECUTIVE ORDER 13,780 IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL UNDER THE EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE OF THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT INTRODUCTION Justice Holmes once said that the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was the “last resort of constitutional lawyers.”1 But his words on the Equal Protection Clause are outdated, especially when there is such a controversial President sitting in the Oval Office. Donald Trump’s presidency is controversial for many reasons, but one main source of the controversy is his so-called “Muslim ban,” which came in the form of an Executive Order.2 In general, Executive Order 13,780 bans foreign nationals from six Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States of America, and it suspends the United State Refugee Admission Program.3 This Comment will analyze how the Executive Order is unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.4 To be clear an equal protection claim against the Executive Order comes in two forms: 1) discrimination based on national origin, and 2) discrimination based on religion. This Comment proposes that the Executive Order is unconstitutional under both theories. Under both theories, the Court will likely use a strict scrutiny standard when evaluating the constitutionality of the Executive Order, though the Court will reach strict scrutiny in different ways. Under the national origin discrimination theory, the Court will automatically apply strict scrutiny because national origin is a suspect class, and under the religious discrimination theory, the Court will likely apply the test it set forth in Washington v. Davis.5 Part I of this Comment will give a background into the history and substance of Executive Order 13,780, the different standards of scrutiny, and the various judicial decisions involving the Equal Protection Clause and strict scrutiny.

  • Administrative Appeal/Request for Reconsideration of the Denial of Request for Correction Under Information Quality Guidelines
    September 13, 2018 Via Express Mail Via Express Mail Department of Homeland Security Department of Justice ATTN: Office of the Chief Information ATTN: Office of Legislative Affairs Officer/Information Quality Officer 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW 245 Murray Lane, SW Washington, D.C. 20530-0001 Washington, D.C. 20528 Re: Administrative Appeal/Request for Reconsideration of the Denial of Request for Correction Under Information Quality Guidelines To the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice: On January 16, the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) (collectively, the “Departments”) issued a report entitled “Executive Order 13780: Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States, Initial Section 11 Report” (“Report”). This report was rife with inaccuracies and methodological flaws, and wholly lacking in transparency and objectivity, all in direct violation of the Information Quality Act (“IQA”) and its implementing regulations. On February 8, 2018, Petitioners here filed an administrative petition (“Petition”), attached hereto as Exhibit 1, identifying at least nine distinct violations under the IQA and requesting that the Departments either rescind or correct the Report. The Departments denied the Petition without responding to the majority of errors that Petitioners identified, in letters attached hereto as Exhibit 2. To the extent that the Departments addressed the identified errors and inadequacies at all, the responses are inadequate. The Departments apparently maintain that their obligations under the IQA are satisfied because the Report included accurate information that was accurately described. The Departments’ premise is wrong, because the Petition pointed out several instances of straightforward data inaccuracies that the Departments have failed to explain.
