Neoliberalism Workshop: Contradictions in liberal reforms: The regulation of labour subcontracting

Series
Foundation for Law, Justice and Society
Embed
Guy Mundlak, Professor at The Buchmann Faculty of Law, Tel Aviv University, gives a talk for the Neoliberalism workshop.
Professor Mundlak outlined the legal problems, and the principle of residual responsibility associated with the triangular relationship between the worker, the (sub-contracted) provider of the service and the direct employer.
Although conducted as empirical research on temporary and sub-contracted workers in Israel, he argued that the study’s findings could be seen as a prophecy of what is currently happening worldwide in terms of employer liability and workers’ rights.

Epigenetics: What Makes You "You"?

Series
Christmas Science Lectures
Embed
Have you ever wondered why identical twins aren’t, well, actually identical? Do you want to blame your parents for something about you that is different from everyone else in the family? Then you need to find out about Epigenetics.
In this lecture, we will explore why identical twins are not identical despite sharing the same set of genes. Epigenetics tells the cell whether genes can be switched on or off and this varies even in identical twins. The environment, things like food and toxins, influences epigenetics. So what your parents ate and what they did at your conception and while you were growing in the uterus plays a big part in what you are now. In the same way, the sort of food you eat now, where you live and the amount of stress you face also influences your epigenetics. As the saying goes “you are what you eat”. In this lecture you can find out why.

Conscientious Objection in Healthcare Conference: Roundtable discussion

Series
From Conscience to Robots: Practical Ethics Workshops
Embed
Panel discussion at a conference on conscientious objection in medicine and the role of conscience in healthcare practitioners’ decision making, Oxford 2015.
The conference aimed at analyzing from a philosophical, ethical and legal perspective the meaning and the role of “conscience” in the healthcare profession. Conscientious objection by health professionals has become one of the most pressing problems in healthcare ethics. Health professionals are often required to perform activities that conflict with their own moral or religious beliefs (for example abortion). Their refusal can make it difficult for patients to have access to services they have a right to and, more in general, can create conflicts in the doctor-patient relationship. The widening of the medical options available today or in the near future is likely to sharpen these conflicts. Experts in bioethics, philosophy, law and medicine explored possible solutions.
