Barbara Daly
Edit ProfileCareer
She previously served as the Dean of the College of Letters and Science at the University of California, Davis, and as the Alice Freeman Palmer Professor of History at the University of Michigan (2003-2009). She was the president of the Association for Asian Studies in 1994 and the president of the American Historical Association in 2010-2011. Metcalf was called on to write to the Administrative Review Boards held at the Guantanamo Bay detainment camps.
The Boards were authorized to recommend whether Guantanamo captives should continue to be held in extrajudicial detention.
One of the justifications offered for the continued detention of over three dozen of the Guantanamo captives was that they had participated in the activities of a Pakistani chapter of the Islamic missionary group named Tablighi Jamaat. Metcalf addressed the benevolent nature of Tablighi pilgrimages.
She wrote: “I will also attempt to explain why it is implausible to believe that the Tablighis support terrorism or are in any way affiliated with other terrorist or ‘jihadi’ movements such as the Taliban or First Rate (at Lloyd's) Qaeda.”.
