Review - Work Your Career & The Oxford Handbook of Publishing
by Dana Gold
Published by Canadian Journal of Political Science
September 20, 2019
Each year, new books are released that are intended to allow scholars and students to gain
insight into topics integral to scholarly life but often not properly explained. The past year
saw two exciting new releases, Berdahl and Malloy’s Work Your Career and Phillips and
Bhaskar’s (eds.) The Oxford Handbook of Publishing, illustrating that one size, indeed, does
not fit all. These books will appeal to individuals at various stages of their careers, as well as
individuals from different disciplines and with different vocations and passions. What unites
the two volumes is a shared interest in research and writing, and readers could choose to
engage with the texts either for their own professional development or out of intellectual
curiosity.

The Politics of Emotion: A Case Study of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
by Dana Gold
Published by Israel Studies Review
December 1, 2015
Emotion is an extremely valuable, yet underdeveloped, topic of study particularly in the world of International Relations. This article seeks to rectify this discrepancy by reconceptualizing the issue of emotion in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. For the last century, Israelis and Palestinians have been waging war over the same territory in which religions, cultures, and values are constantly clashing. Passionate emotions are a cause, and also a consequence, of the constant physical and ideological battles faced by both sides. The question of how to reconcile differences between the two will not be easy to answer. Considering how peace can viably be implemented requires a deeper comprehension of what emotions entail as well as their role in prolonging conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
