Co-sponsored by UH History, PAT, Hillel Hawaii, and the UH Fund for the Promotion of Jewish Life and Study. Drawing on this publication, Sienna spins a complex story about Jewish sexuality and gender across time and space. Pulling together these varied sources, written in over fifteen languages – which include poetry, literature, law, midrash, and memoir – Sienna has created the very first anthology of queer Jewish history, released in February 2019. What is the place of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer Jews in history? Over the past two years, Noam Sienna has worked to uncover documents that until now have been scattered across the globe, and largely unrecognized. Noam Sienna, PhD Candidate, University of Minnesota “Spinning A Rainbow Thread: Reflections on Writing Queer Jewish History” We conclude that cuts in unemployment relief in July 1841 markedly changed incentives for workers on relief employment to seek work on newly opened rural farms and sheep stations. Edwyna Harris (Monash University) and La Croix use new data on the compensation of unemployed workers and private-sector workers to examine how the SA unemployment system functioned before and after the onset of a major financial crisis in August 1840. This was a unique relief employment system, standing out as an exception in the British world to the New Poor Law of the 1830s and the common European provision of meager relief during the troubling decades of the 1830s and 1840s. Their immigration contract required that the SA government provide emigrants who could not find work with employment on public works. Between November 1836 and December 1840, over 15,000 assisted migrants came to SA. Great Britain established the new colony of South Australia (SA) in 1834, requiring that revenues from colonial land sales be used to subsidize passage for migrants to the colony.
