Being a Syrian Refugee Child in America a Dissert UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Pursuit of Happiness and the Other: Being a Syrian Refugee Child in America A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology by Farzad Amoozegar-Fassaie 2020 © Copyright by Farzad Amoozegar-Fassaie 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Pursuit of Happiness and the Other: Being a Syrian Refugee Child in America by Farzad Amoozegar-Fassaie Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Alessandro Duranti, Co-Chair Professor C. Jason Throop, Co-Chair This dissertation is based on the accounts of four Syrian refugee children who now live in the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn. It focuses on the children’s narratives of their treacherous flight out of Syria into refugee camps in Jordan and Turkey, their accounts of their daily lives in the Bay Ridge area, and their views about the future. Each child has had similar experiences, coping with the tragic loss of family members and friends during the Syrian Civil War. Through their journeys the loss of the other destabilizes the self, forming a mode of being-with-other that allows the dead the possibility of “living-after.” It opens the children to being responsible for the ii wellbeing of the dead other, shaping the children’s narratives as a response to the non-responsive other. For the children, the dead other stimulates a way of being-in-the world that is constantly (re)orienting their moral experiences. The dead other becomes an open-ended engagement. This intersubjective relationship to the dead other is examined through Islamic ethics and Sūfī ideals the children have been socialized into and have learned to uphold. The dissertations focuses on Islamic philosopher al-Ghazālī’s concept of “happiness” and philosopher Ibn ‘Arabī’s notion of barzakh (“obstacle” or “separation”), the in-between space of “the world of imagination.” These concepts emphasize Islamic and Sūfī ideals as lived experiences for the children, informing individual virtues as a set of characteristic patterns of knowledge, rationality, motivation and action. The significance in examining Islamic ethics and Sūfī ideals in relation to the children’s lifeworlds is the understanding of ethics as a relationship between moral norms and unpredictable situations. These situations of unpredictability, exemplified through the openness towards the dead other, are a form of being and becoming for the children shaped through their dynamic (re)interpretation of the past and the unpredictability of the future. iii The dissertation of Farzad Amoozegar-Fassaie is approved.

  • Agroecology Demonstration Garden at Eden Hall Campus
    Inside: Agroecology Demonstration Garden at Eden Hall Campus WINTER2020 LIFE ON CAMPUS DURING CORONAVIRUS There’s no doubt about it—fall 2020 was a term like no other in recent memory. Masking, maintaining physical distancing, daily health screenings, over 1,000 COVID tests, and additional outdoor dining spaces were among the protocols Chatham enacted to help keep its community safe from the coronavirus (for a full list of coronavirus precautions and updates, visit our Fall Return to Campus site at chatham.edu/fall2020). Our students, faculty, and staff showed remarkable resilience in rising to the challenge, though— adapting activities, events, and traditions to be safe for themselves and their peers. Events were held virtually and in person, including a week of action for racial justice, a ton of election week support events, and even a Food in Uncertain Times virtual conference hosted by the Center for Regional Agriculture, Food, and Transformation (CRAFT). Alumni joined in the spirit, attending the Alumni Reunion Weekend@Home. For photos of the Chatham spirit in action during these uncertain times, turn to page 32.

    Physicians for Human Rights Access Denied UN Aid Deliveries to Syria’s Besieged and Hard-to-Reach Areas March 2017 Death by infection because security forces do not allow antibiotics through checkpoints. Death in childbirth because relentless bombing blocks access to clinics. Death from diabetes and kidney disease because medicines to treat chronic illnesses ran out months ago. Death from trauma because snipers stand between injured children and functioning hospitals. And – everywhere – slow, painful death by starvation. This is what one million besieged people – trapped mostly by their own government – face every day in Syria. This is the unseen suffering – hidden under the shadow of barrel bombs and car bombs – that plagues the Syrian people as they enter a seventh grim year of conflict. This is murder by siege.
