To Kimberly Hart:
I would like to recommend the work of Celene Krauss. See
"Blue-Collar Women and Toxic-Waste Protests: The Process of
Politicization," in the book "Toxic Struggles," edited by Richard
Hofrichter, and "Women and Toxic Waste Protests: Race, Class and
Gender as Resources of Resistance," in "Environmental Justice and
Communities of Color," edited by Robert Bullard. She explores why
women are at the forefront of grassroots environmental struggles,
which I think illuminates the relationship of ecology and feminism.
Also I recommend the chapter on "Urban and Industrial Roots" in
Robert Gottlieb's book "Forcing the Spring," which shows that the
historical roots of environmentalism are not only in the conservation
movement but in urban, working-class-oriented movements including the
settlement movement associated with Jane Addams and other women
activists.
My own study of ecofeminism is too sketchy as yet to give in-depth
answers to your questions, but I can say that what makes me
interested in ecofeminism is what makes me interested in both ecology
and feminism: that they point to the need for fundamental change in
relationships between human beings, which I feel too. And they also
represent the attempt by people to radically change the relations we
now experience. Looking at the current political climate, we really
need that now!
For freedom,
Franklin Bell

Call For Speakers
Apologies at the outset for cross-listings; we are seeking to "cast our
net" as wide as possible.
The American Society of International Law's Wildlife Special Interest
Section, the Pacific Center For International Studies and the
Georgetown International Environmental Law Review are sponsoring a one
day conference on the future of international wildlife law, entitled
"International Wildlife Law: Preserving Biodiversity In The 21st
Century." The conference will take place in Washington DC on March 26,
1996, one day prior to the opening of the American Society of
International Law's annual convention.
We are currently seeking speakers for the following panels. Speakers
will have the option of preparing longer papers for publication in a
law review symposium on the conference:
* Convention On International Trade In Endangered Species
* International Law And The Conservation Of Marine Species
* International Convention For The Regulation Of Whaling
Inquiries can be directed to my attention. We also are amassing a
mailing list for those interested in obtaining more information about
attending the conference. Please contact me at the address below.
Thank you.
Wil Burns, Director, Pacific Center For International Studies. (608)
256-6312.
