How Domestic Courts Are Using International Refugee Law and Human Rights Law in the Context of Climate Change and Disasters.
Get PDFIt is vital that lawyers, government officials and judges clearly appreciate when, how and why international protection principles apply in the context of climate change and disasters.

Hamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841–1935), author and journalist
Get PDFHamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841-1935), author and journalist, was born on 25 January 1841 at Kilmersdon, Somerset, where she was baptized on 12 April 1841, the younger of two daughters of Richard Hamilton (1805?-1859), vicar of Kilmersdon, and his wife Charlotte, née Cooper (1809-1882), the fifth daughter of William Cooper, of Queens County, Ireland.

He had been a bright scholar with an aptitude for languages, and as a preacher was praised for his powerful sermons and his ability to bring the Bible to life for his parishioners
Missing the boat on asylum
No full textAustralia should make a bigger commitment to resettling refugees, writes Jane McAdam in the National Times
ACCORDING to the Prime Minister, the government\u27s new asylum policy is a response to people\u27s concerns about border security. She says such concerns are not about racism or xenophobia. But they are, largely, about ignorance fuelled by the dismal political debate about refugees, with tabloid media sensationalism stoking the fire.
The government\u27s proposal to create a \u27\u27regional processing centre\u27\u27 in East Timor sounds like the new \u27\u27Pacific solution\u27\u27. In fact, it is a reworking of a failed proposal by the British government in 2003 to create \u27\u27transit processing centres\u27\u27 outside the European Union. That drew its inspiration from the \u27\u27Pacific solution\u27\u27.
Criticism by other EU states meant the proposal never got off the ground, not least because it raised…

In the Mould of the Fathers – Objects of Sculpture, Subjects of Legacy, con un testo di Luca Trabucco
No full textIn this text Jane McAdam Freud interrogates the forms and processes used in portrait sculpture with the objective of exploring her conscious and unconscious drives. Contextualizing these self-portraits, she shows the works that led up to her returning to the self as a focus for sculpture driven by feelings of the responsibility of heritage. Furthermore, the paper focus on some points related to the work of sublimation and memory, from the perspective of a creative work that is put in place by the dream/artistic work.Jane McAdam Freud esamina le forme e i processi della sua scultura con lo scopo di esplorare i suoi impulsi consci e inconsci. Contestualizzando i suoi autoritratti, presenta ciò che la ha portata a ritornare al sé come focus della sua opera, mossa da sentimenti di responsabilità per la sua eredità. Inoltre si concentra su alcuni punti collegati al lavoro della sublimazione e della memoria nell'ottica di un'operazione creativa messa in atto dal sogno e dal lavoro artistico.
The light of the eye : doctrine, piety and reform in the works of Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen
No full textBibliography: leaves 376-401.This thesis investigates the ways in which three eighteenth-century writers, Bishop Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen embody orthodox Anglican doctrine according to their individual perceptions of the enlightening properties of Protestant Christianity. After situating them in their respective gender, literary and ecclesiastical contexts, I examine some of their key doctrines and analyse excerpts from their works. My selection of passages from Sherlock's works is fairly comprehensive, but in the case of More and Austen, where there is already a formidable body of literary criticism, it is more selective. Thus, I focus on doctrine in More's tracts, Strictures on the System of Female Education, An Essay on St Paul and most especially Coelebs in Search of a Wife and in the case of Austen, on her prayers and select passages from Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park. I conclude that, although diverse in their particular kind of Anglicanism (High, Evangelical and Median) and in their choice of genre, transparency or obscurity (anonymity and pseudonymity) and the various narratological strategies some of them invoke to circumvent certain taboos, Sherlock, More and Austen champion the same central orthodox doctrines, defend them against current alternatives to orthodoxy such as Latitudinarianism, Deism and various forms of Freethinking, and promote similar moral and ecclesiastical reforms. However, indirectly (through female characters who resist male representation or control) the women writers subject their ostensibly authorially-endorsed male narrators/characters to scrutiny and sometimes (when the males objectify the women) subversion
