ECOFEM...STUDIES IN WOMEN AND ENVIRONMENT...ECOFEM


        It is our pleasure to announce the introduction of a new
list--ECOFEM, STUDIES IN WOMEN AND ENVIRONMENT.  ECOFEM is an
international electronic mail forum in which a variety of
viewpoints concerning women and the environment may be discussed.
These include the wide ranging views on feminism (liberal,
radical, socialist, postmodern, and yours!) and the multi-hued
"environment."  As such, ECOFEM is designed as an open space for
dialogue, allowing a diversity of thought and multiple approaches
to the topic of women and environment.

    We hope that ECOFEM will provide a network where a range of
information concerning women and environment may be shared,
including: grassroots activism, legislative action,
treaties/conventions, publications (poetry and prose), syllabi,
conferences, job opportunities, upcoming events, book & film
reviews, etcetera.  ECOFEM's scope covers local to international
arenas, but these boundaries are reference points rather than any
solid demarcation.  We hope to foster a space for addressing the
tensions in and between theory and practice, and we welcome and
encourage a variety of knowledges to participate on ECOFEM.

    ECOFEM was established during July through September 1994 by
the co-ordinated efforts of editors linked through the list's
host, Communications for a Sustainable Future (CSF) located at the
University of Colorado at Boulder.  As the co-ordinators of
ECOFEM, Priya Kurian and Stefanie Rixecker, we invite you to visit
ECOFEM and contribute to its diverse space.

    ECOFEM is an unmoderated and open list, so all messages posted
to the list (ECOFEM@csf.colorado.edu) will automatically be
redistributed around the world.
