La réparation pour les violations massives des droits humains
Le présent article s’intéresse aux fonds et programmes de réparation en lien avec les violations massives des droits humains. Étant donné la multitude de mécanismes existants au niveau national et international, l’objectif premier de cet article est de cartographier quelques exemples de fonds de réparation, afin de comparer les différents modèles existants. La manière dont le fonds est géré varie d’un fonds à l’autre, et les victimes peuvent être…
The World Health Organization as an engine of ideational robustness
The paper focuses on the role of the World Health Organization (WHO) in promoting a healthy world population as a generative and robust idea within health policy. The WHO’s health credo transcends national boundaries to promote health globally. It is embedded in norms, values, and standards promulgated by the organization and contributes in shaping the health responses of national governments. Ideational robustness refers to the ability of the WH…
L’appréhension empirique du leadership normatif d’une organisation internationale
En plein essor, la recherche empirique en droit participe à la création de nouvelles connaissances et ouvre aux juristes d’autres voies pour étudier une question, un phénomène. Oser l’empirisme n’est pas chose aisée, mais les auteurs du présent article ont pris ce virage et proposent d’en exposer le récit. En construisant deux méthodes distinctes (pour deux projets), ils ont pu tester les possibilités qu’offre la recherche empirique pour appréhen…
Intervention in the Supreme Court of Canada's Bissonnette case
This article, which follows the authors' intervention in the Bissonnette case before the Supreme Court of Canada, highlights the jurisprudential context surrounding the analytical framework upon which judges are called to base their interpretation and application of Canadian domestic law - in this case, the sentencing regime under sections 7 and 12 of the Canadian Charter - when resorting to the normativity of international law. In addition to cl…
Intervention en matière d’interlégalité dans l’affaire Bissonnette de la Cour suprême du Canada
Faisant suite au mémoire d’intervention des auteur.e.s dans l’affaire Bissonnette de la Cour suprême du Canada, le présent article vise à éclairer le contexte jurisprudentiel entourant la grille d’analyse à laquelle les juges sont invités à souscrire en cas de recours à la normativité de droit international pour interpréter et appliquer le droit interne canadien, en l’occurrence le régime des peines en vertu des articles 7 et 12 de la Charte cana…
The empirical apprehension of the normative leadership of an international organization
Empirical research in law is thriving, contributing to the creation of new knowledge and providing jurists with innovative ways to study issues and phenomena. Embracing empiricism is no easy task, but the authors of this article have taken the plunge to shed light on such research. By developing two distinct methods (for two projects), they tested the empirical potential for understanding the normative leadership of the World Health Organization …

The House on Henry Street
It's been 125 years since Lillian Wald, daughter of prosperous German Jewish immigrants and a nurse, opened what became the famous Henry Street Settlement on New York's Lower East Side. To celebrate, the settlement, which now consists of buildings on Henry Street and neighborhood social service centers, developed a digital and onsite exhibition. Snyder-Grenier, who curated the exhibitions, has written an impressive history of the institution, thr…
Doing business abroad
While it is reported that a large part of the mining activity abroad comes from Canada, a robust regulatory framework for addressing human rights violations committed by Canadian mining companies is lacking in Canada. From Canadian and international law perspectives, this paper addresses the issue of accountability of Canadian companies who commit human rights violations while operating in foreign countries. The paper discusses reports of human r…
Louise Audino Tilly
Louise Audino Tilly, who died on March 2, 2018, enjoyed a relatively short twenty-five year career as a historian. But Tilly left an enduring imprint through her example and through her scholarship on the history of women and work, on the social and economic circumstances affecting collective action, and on the connections between demographic changes and family life. In more recent decades, several generations of historians have benefitted from t…
Citizenship by descent
Since 1947, the Canadian Citizenship Act has set out the laws that determine eligibility for Canadian citizenship. Throughout the Act’s various enactments, the Canadian government has recognised the right to citizenship by descent, meaning the right for a Canadian citizen to pass on his/her citizenship status to his/her child born outside of Canada. Citizenship by descent is a commonly recognised path to citizenship in many countries. Canada has …
International human rights norms and maternal tort immunity in Canada
In 1999, the majority of the Supreme Court of Canada held in the case of Dobson (Litigation Guardian of) v. Dobson that public policy concerns indicate that a legal duty of care cannot, and should not, be imposed by the courts upon a pregnant woman towards her foetus or subsequently born alive child. Public policy concerns can in part explain the decision of the Court; however, it also negates the rights of children and disregards their right to …
Population, Politics, and Unemployment Policy in the Great Depression
Working out large-scale processes through close attention to local-level analysis remained central to Louise Tilly's approach to social history. An ongoing commitment to agency and strategy undergirded her vision for a global history that made connections between large-scale processes across space, between human agency and structure, and between the past and present. Her vision remains an important influence in my coauthored comparative history o…

East Side/East End
Politics, Industrialization and Citizenship
With the “forward march of labor halted”, and labor movements everywhere in retreat, T.H. Marshall's state-based emphasis on social welfare as “social right” has reminded those interested in reform that appeals to membership in a national community, the essence of citizenship, have served to rally groups to successful struggles for reform. Those aspects of Marshall's ideas, best summarized in his classic 1949 address, “Citizenship and Social Clas…
Workshop to Office
In turn-of-the-century New York, Italian immigrant daughters spent their youth in factories while their mothers did irregular wage labor as well as domestic work at home. By the I940s, Italian-American girls were in school, socializing and preparing for white-collar jobs that would not begin until they were eighteen. Drawing on a range of sources from censuses to high school yearbooks, Miriam Cohen examines shifting patterns in the family roles, …

Women's Work and European Fertility Patterns
During the nineteenth century most commentators on the "condition of the working classes" attributed large families and frequent illegitimacy among the poor to social, economic or moral pathology.For Engels overpopulated working class families were the offspring of industrial capitalism.For Malthus, they were evidence of imprudence, of an inability to make rational calculations.For both, as for many government investigators and social reformers, …

Work, School, and Reform
Of all state social provisions, education is among the most important. It also shows the greatest amount of variation among Western industrial nations. England and the United States, countries with many common intellectual and governmental traditions, with longstanding commitments to individualism and democratic forms of government, exhibit great disparity in education. Even today, the United States is by far the leader in the field of mass educa…

Does the Family Have a History? A Review of Theory and Practice in Family History
Does the Family Have a History
Whence and whither family history? In his bibliographic and programmatic essay, Hobsbawm (1971) did not mention family history as a subfield of what was then the relatively “new” social history. The closest he came was “demography and kinship.” In 1980, by which time social history was definitely mature, and according to some critics, even in decline, the proceedings of a conference on history in the 1980s included a 37-page essay by Stone (1981b…
