The American people saw the rewards that grew out of our efforts in the first 18 months of my Administration. Economic growth increased in strength, and the number of new jobs created during my Administration rose to 4.7 million. After 6 years of delay, the American people had a Crime Bill, which will put 100,000 police officers on our streets and take 19 deadly assault weapons off the street. We saw our National Service initiative become a reality as I swore in the first 20,000 AmeriCorps members, giving them the opportunity to serve their country and to earn money for their education.

  • Giant Video Portraits of Refugees Are Circling Manhattan for the UN General Assembly This Week—See Them Here
    Giant Video Portraits of Refugees Are Circling Manhattan for the UN General Assembly This Week—See Them Here Shimon Attie's floating film installation can be seen on New York's Hudson and East Rivers. Caroline Goldstein, September 25, 2018 Installation view of Shimon Attie's Night Watch (2018). Photo: Kate Levy, courtesy of the artist and More Art. As world leaders arrive to the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week, new media artist Shimon Attie is giving them a front row seat to a global issue that he finds particularly pressing. Attie’s floating film installation, Night Watch, stars 12 former refugees from around the world who were granted political asylum and relocated to New York. Their digital portraits are displayed onto a 20-foot-tall, 12-foot-wide screen, mounted aboard a barge sailing slowly down the East River and the Hudson River. In the 10-minute silent loop, locals and visitors alike have a chance to see some of the individuals who are affected by the country’s changing immigration laws. Shimon Attie at the opening for Night Watch. Photo: Kate Levy, courtesy of More Art. The film was commissioned by the nonprofit group More Art, which helped Attie research and collaborate with legal aid organizations, including the Safe Passage Project and Immigration Equality, as well as community activist groups such as the Queer Detainee Empowerment Project and RIF Asylum Support. Night Watch will be traveling along the Hudson River from 6 p.m.–8 p.m. on September 25-26. It will appear on the East River, near Brooklyn Bridge Park, from 6 p.m.–8 p.m.

  • Conflict Bosnia-Herzegovina
    The War of Positions: Football in Post- Conflict Bosnia-Herzegovina A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Emily Kate VEST School of Sport and Education Brunel University July 2014 Abstract Research on the role sport might or can play in a post-conflict environment has tended to focus upon sport’s ability to deliver wider development objectives through that known as Sport-for-Development and Peace (SDP) interventions. Such programmes are somewhat notorious for over-looking the wider influence of the pre-established domestic sporting milieus. An ethnographic study of the role sport – and in this case specifically football - plays in what is known as a ‘returnee’ village within the Bosnian Se rb Entity of Bosnia- Herzegovina is herein presented in an attempt to understand the complex interplay of power between the village, their neighbours, the state and those who perform and deliver football. The relationships that are established across and within such entities and the negotiations required for co-existence are significant; in a variety of ways they influence the post-conflict processes. The interplay of the varied social and cultural groups that constitute post-conflict Bosnia requires a multi-disciplinary approach to elucidate the post-conflict processes. Utilising a neo-Gramscian approach what follows makes it possible to envisage the International Community, namely the supra-national institutions, international NGOs and funders, in the role of the dominant political group working to create its vision of a hegemony of peace. Concurrently the ethno-political indigenous elite are endeavouring to retain the status quo and have managed to create a period of permanent liminality, preventing Bosnia from creating a post-conflict hegemony.
