Scope and content

This series documents Gotlieb’s participation in associations outside the academic sphere mainly relating to human rights and peace. Newsletters, correspondence, memos and reports document his involvement in the Committee of Concerned Scientists 1974-1987 and the Council of the Canadian Committee of Scientists and Scholars 1974-1987. There is also one file documenting advocacy for the release of Soviet scientist and human rights activist Anatoly Shcharansky, 1977-1980. Also included in this series are records relating to his work within the Canadian Jewish community. Included are files on Canada-Israel Chamber of Commerce, the Canadian Jewish Congress, the Global Jewish Database and Canadian Friends of the Hebrew University.

Finally, there is one box documenting his membership and activities in Science for Peace. Included are general records such as minutes of board meetings, newsletters, reports and correspondence mainly of the Toronto Group, 1992-1999. Most files relate to his position as chair of the Ethics Committee. The work of this committee resulted in the publication of two papers "The Toronto Resolution” and "Do Scientific and Scholarly Codes of Ethics Take Social Issues into Account?" both published in Accountability in Research.
