Hi everybody! I thought I should introduce myself as well. I am a senior at
the College of Wooster, OH, and am currently working on my Senior Independent
Study(Senior Thesis) in the Economics department. For my thesis, I am trying to
study how environmental degradation effects the life of women in developing
countries. Specifically, I would like to see how the development in third world
countries has not considered the environmental impacts of such projects, and in
turn how the degradation of the environment resulting from such development
programs effects the life of women. I have been reading a number of books in
the women and environment sphere, however I need articles/books where the
author has applied economic theory to the environmental degradation - women
connection. This could also be work that has been done in the context of
agriculture/farming development - environmental impact - women or industrializa
tion in developing countries - environmental impact - effect on women. If any
of you have read anything or know of sources that will be helpful for my thesis
please let me know about it.
I look forward to communicating with all of you on this network.
Rohit
