  • A Bald Eagle in the Land of Muhammad: American Foreign Policy in the Middle East
    A BALD EAGLE IN THE LAND OF MUHAMMAD: AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY IN THE MIDDLE EAST by Ari Epstein A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Masters of Government Baltimore, Maryland June 2020 © 2020 Ari Epstein All rights reserved Abstract A lack of information regarding American foreign policy in the Middle East can lead to deleterious political decision-making. There are many people both in the civilian world and the world of government that view Middle Eastern related security issues through a sociocultural lens. This thesis portfolio seeks to assess the implications of American foreign policy in the Middle East as opposed to socio-culture. It places emphasis on the theory that American foreign policy contributes to anti-American antagonism. There are a few different methods by which this is measured. First, this thesis will assess American military policy in the Middle East. Specifically, it analyzes the impact of American military policy in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan on Muslim public opinion. This is conducted by looking at numerous sets of data and public polls from different credible organizations, as well as secondary sources. Second, socio-cultural sources are directly assessed in order provide evidence that American foreign policy is the primary driver behind anti-American antagonism. Writings from notorious anti-American figures and scholarly sources on Middle Eastern culture, are considered in order to measure socio-cultural based anti-American antagonism against anti-American antagonism driven by American foreign policy. ii ABSTRACT Third, the diplomatic consequences of the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Agreement are assessed.

  • A Love Letter to Black Mothers
    BERGAMO KEYNOTE, 2019 A Love Letter to Black Mothers NICHOLE A. GUILLORY Kennesaw State University A Prelude. STAYED AWAY FROM THE BERGAMO CONFERENCE on Curriculum Theory and I Classroom Practice for nearly 20 years because I have always had a complicated relationship with curriculum theory. For many years, the field has provided me the intellectual space to grapple with the interdisciplinary questions I want to explore about knowledge, power, and identity. Only in curriculum theory is the possibility of my academic career possible. I began writing about the public pedagogies of Black women rappers Missy Elliott, Lil Kim, and Eve in the early 2000s. Then, I took my first tenure-track position and shifted to writing about the plantation politics of predominantly white higher education spaces. Now, 20 years later, my writing is focused primarily on Black mothering. This trajectory is possible because of other Black women curriculum theorists in the space. I want to thank two sister theorists in particular for paving a way for all of us in this field, but especially me. Without Denise Taliaferro-Baszile, my work would not have been published or presented in as many places as it has been. Her work is simultaneously inspirational and aspirational for so many of us because it always manages to prompt us toward new and more complicated thinking. I want to thank also Kirsten Edwards, who has created opportunities for me to publish and present and whose work is as brilliant as it is beautifully written. She represents the Black feminist future of Afro-futurist thinking. I owe both of these women a great debt, and they will always be examples of how to pay forward all that I have been given.

  • Resources on Racial Justice June 8, 2020
    Resources on Racial Justice June 8, 2020 1 7 Anti-Racist Books Recommended by Educators and Activists from the New York Magazine https://nymag.com/strategist/article/anti-racist-reading- list.html?utm_source=insta&utm_medium=s1&utm_campaign=strategist By The Editors of NY Magazine With protests across the country calling for systemic change and justice for the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade, many people are asking themselves what they can do to help. Joining protests and making donations to organizations like Know Your Rights Camp, the ACLU, or the National Bail Fund Network are good steps, but many anti-racist educators and activists say that to truly be anti-racist, we have to commit ourselves to the ongoing fight against racism — in the world and in us. To help you get started, we’ve compiled the following list of books suggested by anti-racist organizations, educators, and black- owned bookstores (which we recommend visiting online to purchase these books). They cover the history of racism in America, identifying white privilege, and looking at the intersection of racism and misogyny. We’ve also collected a list of recommended books to help parents raise anti-racist children here. Hard Conversations: Intro to Racism - Patti Digh's Strong Offer This is a month-long online seminar program hosted by authors, speakers, and social justice activists Patti Digh and Victor Lee Lewis, who was featured in the documentary film, The Color of Fear, with help from a community of people who want and are willing to help us understand the reality of racism by telling their stories and sharing their resources.
