"It's not usual that an Israeli would start working on Canadian subjects as much as I have been doing,' Schaub says, CanLit first became an interest of hers while she was working at the Free University of Brussels, whose Centre for Canadian Studies had just opened. It was there that she found her eventual thesis subject, Mavis Gallant. CanLit continues to interest Schaub because of the resonance its main themes have for an Israeli audience. She identifies several parallels between Canada and Israel (among them, the presence of two main communities, as well as a varied immigration history) as links that make the themes of multiculturalism, identity, and community particularly relevant to her students in Haifa."
