  • OAG Hearing on Interactions Between NYPD and the General Public Submitted Written Testimony
    OAG Hearing on Interactions Between NYPD and the General Public Submitted Written Testimony Tahanie Aboushi | New York, New York I am counsel for Dounya Zayer, the protestor who was violently shoved by officer D’Andraia and observed by Commander Edelman. I would like to appear with Dounya to testify at this hearing and I will submit written testimony at a later time but well before the June 15th deadline. Thank you. Marissa Abrahams | South Beach Psychiatric Center | Brooklyn, New York As a nurse, it has been disturbing to see first-hand how few NYPD officers (present en masse at ALL peaceful protests) are wearing the face masks that we know are preventing the spread of COVID-19. Demonstrators are taking this extremely seriously and I saw NYPD literally laugh in the face of a protester who asked why they do not. It is negligent and a blatant provocation -especially in the context of the over-policing of Black and Latinx communities for social distancing violations. The complete disregard of the NYPD for the safety of the people they purportedly protect and serve, the active attacks with tear gas and pepper spray in the midst of a respiratory pandemic, is appalling and unacceptable. Aaron Abrams | Brooklyn, New York I will try to keep these testimonies as precise as possible since I know your office likely has hundreds, if not thousands to go through. Three separate occasions highlighted below: First Incident - May 30th - Brooklyn - peaceful protestors were walking from Prospect Park through the streets early in the day. At one point, police stopped to block the street and asked that we back up.

    ―I Sing Because I‘m Free‖: Developing a Systematic Vocal Pedagogy for the Modern Gospel Singer D. M. A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Yvonne Sellers Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Loretta Robinson, Advisor Karen Peeler C. Patrick Woliver Copyright by Crystal Yvonne Sellers 2009 Abstract ―I Sing Because I‘m Free‖: Developing a Systematic Vocal Pedagogy for the Modern Gospel Singer With roots in the early songs and Spirituals of the African American slave, and influenced by American Jazz and Blues, Gospel music holds a significant place in the music history of the United States. Whether as a choral or solo composition, Gospel music is accompanied song, and its rhythms, textures, and vocal styles have become infused into most of today‘s popular music, as well as in much of the music of the evangelical Christian church. For well over a century voice teachers and voice scientists have studied thoroughly the Classical singing voice. The past fifty years have seen an explosion of research aimed at understanding Classical singing vocal function, ways of building efficient and flexible Classical singing voices, and maintaining vocal health care; more recently these studies have been extended to Pop and Musical Theater voices. Surprisingly, to date almost no studies have been done on the voice of the Gospel singer. Despite its growth in popularity, a thorough exploration of the vocal requirements of singing Gospel, developed through years of unique tradition and by hundreds of noted Gospel artists, is virtually non-existent.

    37? /VQti N@* 37 & THE AMERICAN EVE: GENDER, TRAGEDY, AND THE AMERICAN DREAM DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Kim Martin Long, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas May, 1993 37? /VQti N@* 37 & THE AMERICAN EVE: GENDER, TRAGEDY, AND THE AMERICAN DREAM DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Kim Martin Long, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas May, 1993 Long, Kim Martin. The American Eve; Gender. Tragedy, and the American Dream. Doctor of Philosophy (English), May, 1993, 236 pp., works cited, 176 titles. America has adopted as its own the Eden myth, which has provided the mythology of the American dream. This New Garden of America, consequently, has been a masculine garden because of its dependence on the myth of the Fall. Implied in the American dream is the idea of a garden without Eve, or at least without Eve's sin, traditionally associated with sexuality. Our canonical literature has reflected these attitudes of devaluing feminine power or making it a negative force: The Scarlet Letter. Mobv-Dick. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The Great Gatsbv. and The Sound and the Fury. To recreate the Garden myth, Americans have had to reimagine Eve as the idealized virgin, earth mother and life-giver, or as Adam's loyal helpmeet, the silent figurehead. But Eve resists her new roles: Hester Prynne embellishes her scarlet letter and does not leave Boston; the feminine forces in Mobv-Dick defeat the monomanaical masculinity of Ahab; Miss Watson, the Widow Douglas, and Aunt Sally's threat of civilization chase Huck off to the territory despite the beckoning of the feminine river; Daisy retreats unscathed into her "white palace" after Gatsby's death; and Caddy tours Europe on the arm of a Nazi officer long after Quentin's suicide, Benjy's betrayal, and Jason's condemnation.

Sterling Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in German August, 2013 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Professor Meike Werner Professor Christoph Zeller Professor John A. McCarthy Professor Barbara Hahn Professor Helmut Walser Smith Copyright © 2013 by Brett E. Sterling All Rights Reserved ii To my beloved wife, Jenny, and to Honeybee. You inspire and sustain me. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like first to express my sincere gratitude to my adviser and committee chair, Dr. Meike Werner. Her keen insights helped give shape to a topic that began as my own personal struggle with the relationship between political/social engagement and the pursuit of academic study. Her guidance and support were instrumental in bringing this dissertation to fruition, and her encouragement at every step of the process helped me to find my voice and become a scholar. I would also like to thank the members of my committee, Dr. Barbara Hahn, Dr. John A. McCarthy, Dr. Helmut Walser Smith, and Dr. Christoph Zeller. Their advice during the conceptual stage of my dissertation was invaluable in opening up new directions in my approach to Hermann Broch’s writings. I am also thankful for the affirmation and intellectual challenge each provided in conversations throughout the writing process and in the dissertation defense. For introducing me to my “Gesinnungsgenosse” Hermann Broch, I would like to thank Dr. Ralf Klausnitzer of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
