In this video, founding Director of Security in Context Omar Dahi has a conversation with Professors Mark Denbeaux and Falguni A. Sheth about Abu Zubaydah and Guantanamo Bay prisoners.
Professor Mark Denbeaux, one of Seton Hall's most senior faculty members, is also the Director of the Seton Hall Law School Center for Policy and Research, which is best known for its dissemination of the internationally recognized series of reports on the Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp. Professor Denbeaux's interest in the conditions of detainment arose from his representation of two detainees there. Following his visits to GTMO, and his participation in amicus briefs arising from the rules governing the hearings for "enemy combatants," Professor Denbeaux realized the need for an analysis of the government's assumptions and the principles governing the detention process. The Guantánamo report series is primarily produced by Seton Hall Law students of all levels. Several graduates have remained research fellows, as well.
Falguni A. Sheth is Professor of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Emory University. She holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy and has published numerous articles and books, including Toward a Political Philosophy of Race (SUNY Press, 2009) and Unruly Women: Race, Neoliberalism, and the Hijab (Oxford University Press, 2022). Her most recent book explores the racial dynamics of juridical discourses that discipline Muslim women of color and Black Muslim women in the United States. Sheth’s areas of teaching and research include postcolonial theory, transnational feminist studies, critical philosophy of race and race studies, feminist political theory, anticolonial and empire studies, and political and legal philosophy.
