Here's some books:
Ecofeminism- Vandhana Shiva and Maria Mies
Staying Alive- Vandhana Shiva
The only problem with Shiva is that there are some major criticisms
regarding the basis for her arguements being rooted in Patriarchal
values. However she is an excellent womyn!!!!!

2) CROSSROADS IN CULTURAL STUDIES
An International Conference
July 1-4, 1996, Tampere, Finland
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
Cultural studies is not a one-way street between the centre and
peripheries. Rather, it is a crossroads, a meeting point in
between different centres, disciplines and intellectual
movements. People in many countries and with different
backgrounds have worked their way to the crossroads
independently. They have made contacts, exchanged views and
gained inspiration from each other in pursuing their goals.
The vitality of cultural studies depends on a continuous
traffic through this crossroads. Therefore the conference
organizers invite people with different geographical,
disciplinary and theoretical backgrounds together to share their
ideas. We encourage international participation from a wide range
of research areas.
The conference is organized by the Department of Sociology
and Social Psychology, University of Tampere, and Network
Cultural Studies. The organizing committee represents several
universities and disciplines.

CALL FOR PAPERS AND COORDINATORS

the opportunity to add to the list. So please complete the
preliminary abstract form if you would like to give a paper or

exhibition, and publishers are requested to contact the organizers.
The second announcement and invitation programme, including
more information about the conference, its side-events, and a
registration form will be available in September. At this stage

3) Feminist Generations Conference Announcement
Feminist Generations:
An Interdisciplinary, International, All-Ages Conferences
Bowling Green State University
February 2-4, 1996
U.S. feminists in the 1990s understand the contemporary projects of
feminism as part of a process that has its roots in the women's
movement of the 1960s and 1970s and the suffrage movement of
the early 20th century. As people come of age who can take
women's rights for granted, two "generations" of active feminists
now co-exist, demonstrating the basic yet tenuous success of the
contemporary movement. Yet we also find ourselves facing cultural
and generational gaps, which we believe represent both challenges
and opportunities. Through this conference, we hope to forge and
reinforce relationships among ourselves as we share three days of
cultural events representing the diversity and richness of many
different "feminist generations."
The conference's featured speakers will be Faith Ringgold, feminist
performance artist, quilt maker, and children's book author, and
Michelle Wallace, feminist critic, scholar, and novelist. Ringgold's
work will also be exhibited in the Fine Arts Center Gallery, Bowling
Green State University.
We invite presentations (papers, performances, media productions,
creative works, and panels) addressing the diverse meanings of
"generations" in feminist scholarship and action.
--interrogating the meanings of the terms and experiences of "first,"
"second," and "third" wave feminisms/feminists.
--exploring and contrasting the evolution and experiences of
international feminisms.
--interpreting the bodies of feminist politics, arts, expression, and
works through the "feminist generations" of the past and present.
--exploring the challenges posed by a culture increasingly defined as
"post-feminist."
We welcome submissions be pre-college-age scholars, undergraduate
and graduate students, faculty members, independent researchers,
performers, activists, artists, and members of all feminist generations.
Child-care and educational programs for older children will be available.
Please send 250-word abstract, proposal, or project description
(with slides, video, or audio excerpts, if appropriate). Performers
should submit an abstract along with a list of space and supporting
prop requirements.
The deadline for proposals is October 2, 1995. Send proposals to:
"Feminist Generations"
