Canada Work, Care and Belonging: A Feminist Critique of the 'Duties Discourse' in Israel Doctor of Juridical Science, 2008 Revital Goldhar Graduate Department of Law, University of Toronto Abstract Like many other countries, Israel has recently reformed its welfare system and introduced its citizens to the requirement to enter the labour market. I refer to this requirement as 'the duty to work'. Israeli citizens are required to become economically independent rather than a burden on society, and only those who fulfill this requirement and find a paid job, are entitled to welfare benefits. This development signalled an important change in the interplay between rights and obligations of citizenship. If in the past, social citizenship was built upon holding social rights, today, social citizenship is conditioned upon fulfilling a social obligation, the duty to work. In practice, however, not everyone can easily enter the labour market and find a paid job that meets all their needs. Women, especially single mothers, usually face significant difficulties in balancing family responsibilities and labour market participation. In light of these difficulties, many of them might not be able to fulfill the duty to work, and therefore might not reach full membership in the Israeli society. ii How do we understand the duty to work? How do women, and in particular single mothers, cope with the new requirement? What are the sanctions they face if they do not work? How does the duty affect the practice of motherhood and care? My thesis is aimed to answer these questions. The central argument that runs through the thesis is that the 'duty to work' is structured according to gendered norms that do not allow all women, especially single mothers, to fiilfill the new duty thus limiting their ability to contribute to society and establish their belonging to the national collective. This new duty adds to women's problematic position in society as their previous main citizenship duty was that of motherhood - a practice that paved their route into the collective but was structured in a way that provided them with merely second-class citizenship. A possible solution to this gendered structure of citizenship duties is recognizing care as an active citizenship responsibility and allowing women to stay outside the labour market without marginalizing their standing in society. iii Acknowledgments I arrived in Canada five years ago to participate in the graduate program at the University of Toronto. The journey toward completing the doctoral thesis was indeed challenging and demanding. I would have not able to fulfill my goals without the support and care of many people, in Canada both and Israel, who stood by me during these years. I would like to express my genuine gratitude to my supervisor Patrick Macklem for his calm and patient guidance throughout the project. I thank him for pushing me to enhance my arguments, reassuring about the quality of my work and believing in my ability to complete the program. I am especially thankful for his encouragement and generous support that convinced me to present my work in different forums and conferences which improved my thesis in an enormous way. I thank committee member Brenda Cossman for supporting me during the ups and downs of writing the thesis. I am grateful for her tremendous shaping force on my thesis, her helpful assistance with my feminist research and giving me the opportunity to talk about my thesis even when I was not convinced that I should write it. Without her motivation and feedback I would not have completed the program. I thank committee member Lome Sossin for invaluable guidance on my theoretical research in the areas of welfare and citizenship. I am grateful for his insights about the Israeli case-study, his kindness and supportive approach throughout the project. His comments lead to important improvements in this thesis. I would also like to express my appreciation to Jennifer Nedelsky for her thoughtful and constructive comments during my oral examination. I am also grateful to Daphna Barak- Erez, my external reader, who carefully read my thesis, engaged with my arguments and contributed with helpful comments. IV Special gratitude to Denise Reaume, whose guidance, understanding and patience added considerably to my graduate experience. I am grateful for long conversations about academic life as well as personal events, and for a great sense of humour. Her door was always open and she welcomed me to share my thoughts and worries. Her support and attention eased the difficulties of living and studying abroad. I also thank Kerry Rittich, who was my supervisor for the master thesis, for her comments on the doctoral proposal. I am also thankful for her support and guidance during my participation in the master program mat paved my way into the doctoral program. I am grateful for the generous financial support of the Graduate Program at the Faculty of Law. David Dyzenhaus, Kaye Joachim, Julia Hall and Rose Ann MacGillivray made enormous efforts to accommodate my needs during the years. Special thanks to David for extending the financial support during my maternity and sick leaves. Special thanks also to Julia for unique sense of humour and special care. I was privileged to meet great friends in Canada with whom I shared the academic project as well as personal experiences. I thank Ummni Khan, Jarmila Lajcakova, Jillian Boyd, Yaara Lemberger-Kenar and Zoran Oklopcic for being good friends who listened to my thoughts and shared the joy and challenges of this journey. Without them, our space in the library would not be the same. I would also like to thank my good friends Carla Troper, Emily Hammond, Rayner Thwaites, Boaz Ben-David and Adi Folkman for their love, friendship and support. They made my stay in Canada an extraordinary experience. I had the fortunate opportunity to meet Meital Pinto and Boaz Miller who became close friends and my family in Canada. I am indebted for their rare and enduring friendship. I thank Meital for her love and support, and for her faith in me and my work, which often exceeded my own. I am grateful for her willingness to listen and comfort, cook and shop, and for sharing with me both happy and hard times in Canada. I am also thankful for her intellectual insight about my work. I thank Boaz for reading and improving earlier drafts of v my thesis, for intellectual advice, and for his fun and sarcastic sense of humour. I am thankful for his support and encouragement, and for preparing wonderful dinners. It is not easy to keep a friendship alive when living abroad. Special thanks to my friend in Israel, Limor Levi, for long conversations that helped me to cope with my life in Canada. I am grateful for her love, encouragement and patience. I would also like to thank my mother-in-law Cynthia Turner for carefully editing my thesis. I value her patience and comments that improved not only the language but also the content. None of this would have been possible without the love and support of my beloved family. I am grateful for the overwhelming support of my parents, Zipi and Chaim, and my sister Galit, who sent their endless love across the ocean and believed in my ability to participate in the graduate program and build my live in Canada It was extremely hard to stay so far away and not being able to share with them the small moments in life, but I always felt that they are part of me and that they contribute to me in this journey.

    Hoorn, J. F. (2018). Theory of robot communication: I. The medium is the communication partner. arXiv:cs, 2502565(v1), 1-21. 1 Theory of Robot Communication: I. The Medium is the Communication Partner Johan F. Hoorn1,2 1 Department of Computing and School of Design, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, 999077, Hong Kong. 2 Department of Communication Science, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, 1081 HV, The Netherlands. Correspondence should be addressed to Johan F. Hoorn; [email protected] Abstract When people use electronic media for their communication, Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) theories describe the social and communicative aspects of people’s interpersonal transactions. When people interact via a remote-controlled robot, many of the CMC theses hold. Yet, what if people communicate with a conversation robot that is (partly) autonomous? Do the same theories apply? This paper discusses CMC theories in confrontation with observations and research data gained from human-robot communication. As a result, I argue for an addition to CMC theorizing when the robot as a medium itself becomes the communication partner. In view of the rise of social robots in coming years, I define the theoretical precepts of a possible next step in CMC, which I elaborate in a second paper. Introduction Currently, the development and application of social robots in real-life settings rapidly increases. Whereas robots initially were the domain of science-fiction, today, social robots are tried out in service-oriented professions in healthcare, education, and commerce (Broadbent, 2017). Habitually, general-purpose robots are readied for a particular task in a particular environment such as guidance through an exhibition or reception in a hotel (Broadbent, 2017).

  • Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India
    A book in the series Radical Perspectives a radical history review book series Series editors: Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University Barbara Weinstein, New York University History, as radical historians have long observed, cannot be severed from authorial subjectivity, indeed from politics. Political concerns animate the questions we ask, the subjects on which we write. For over thirty years the Radical History Review has led in nurturing and advancing politically engaged historical research. Radical Perspec- tives seeks to further the journal’s mission: any author wishing to be in the series makes a self-conscious decision to associate her or his work with a radical perspective. To be sure, many of us are currently struggling with the issue of what it means to be a radical historian in the early twenty-first century, and this series is intended to provide some signposts for what we would judge to be radical history. It will o√er innovative ways of telling stories from multiple perspectives; comparative, transnational, and global histories that transcend con- ventional boundaries of region and nation; works that elaborate on the implications of the postcolonial move to ‘‘provincialize Eu- rope’’; studies of the public in and of the past, including those that consider the commodification of the past; histories that explore the intersection of identities such as gender, race, class and sexuality with an eye to their political implications and complications. Above all, this book series seeks to create an important intellectual space and discursive community to explore the very issue of what con- stitutes radical history. Within this context, some of the books pub- lished in the series may privilege alternative and oppositional politi- cal cultures, but all will be concerned with the way power is con- stituted, contested, used, and abused.

The book includes various reflections, poems and even sermons from famous and lesser-known writers, each sharing their thoughts on the spiritual terrain that this season offers. I was especially drawn to a sermon by Rev. William Cooper, a colonial-era preacher from Boston whose sermon on January 23rd, 1736 was aptly titled “A Winter Sermon.” From the wooden chancel of the Brattle Street Church in Cambridge, Rev. Cooper read from the King James Bible, Psalm 147 verses 15-18: God sendeth forth His commandment upon earth, His word runneth very swiftly. He giveth snow like wool, He scattereth the frost like ashes. He casteth forth ice like morsels. Who can stand before this cold? God sendeth out His word, and melteth them, He causeth the wind to blow, and the waters flow. And then, in beautiful 18th century discourse, Rev. Cooper argues that the cold is a very powerful means of spiritual practice and devotion. He also lifts up the need for greater service to one another, both neighbor and stranger, due to the many hardships of this season.

  • Moria Paz States & Networks in the Formation of Intl
    States and Networks in the Formation of International Law Moria Paz! Abstract The current struggle of the international legal system to address extremist non-state actors highlights the general inability of our legal institutions to engage with transnational ethnic/religious groups that take on political stances, whether violent or not. Dispersed communities that maintain a group political allegiance but are uninterested in the system of territory and citizenship appear essentially incomprehensible within an international order that is built on the foundation of state sovereignty. This paper investigates the operations and political capabilities of cross-border ethnic/religious networks that generate a group identity and political agenda through cultural institutions, and also traces when and how such networks were excluded from formal status in international law. Using an in-depth study of one organization based on a network of religious schools, I show that these entities can supply many of the same services to their members that a territorial state provides to its citizens. I investigate the consolidation of the state-based legal system at the conclusion of World War I, with a particular focus on the Minorities Treaties as a legal regime intended to address the needs of minority ethnic/religious populations within the new order then emerging. I argue that through these treaties and subsequent case law on their implementation, international law as a discipline played a decisive role in legitimating the primacy of territorial states and casting the network form as deviant. The limited and poorly-defined legal category of minority rights displaced the network model from visibility, leaving international law with few practical structures for interacting with minority communities.
