I'm glad Michael Golden asked the question about women and environment web pages (howdy Michael!). Here at Lawrence University (Appleton, WI) a colleague in the geology department and I are currently working on a set of pages in one corner of the Environmental Studies directory. My colleague, the geologist, recently did a wonderful talk on Gaia and has a summary of her talk on the pages, as well as a nice Daisyworld page. I am planning some Mind and Nature stuff (ala Gregory Bateson) and some Weeds and Seeds stuff. Marcia also has some links to pages on holistic topics written by students. The pages are at: http://www.lawrence.edu/dept/environmental_studies/tangledweb.html http://www.lawrence.edu/dept/environmental_studies/daisy.html http://www.lawrence.edu/dept/environmental_studies/gaia.html etc., with the organizing page at The Tangled Web. We just started this last week and expect an explosion of pages in The Tangled Web. I too would like to list other appropriate pages as links on one of these pages and welcome others linking to us. We have already had our share of problems with the "chair" of environmental studies who objects to the word "ecology," sees a discussion of Gaia as "personal pages," etc. The discussions we've had have been simultaneously silly and troubling -- silly, because this guy is so out of it intellectually that he is thrashing about in outer paradigmatic darkness (as a senior colleague once said to me, some people "fail to make the shift") -- and troubling because the committee he chairs is a 3-"man" committee. It is probably not at all surprising that the areas of intellectual inquiry he opposes are the very ones that we are interested in, both as scholars and professors. Unfortunately, it IS a gender issue, alas. I don't want it to be. (It is only partly an age issue because the "chair" is thirtysomething while the other two members are probably nearing retirement -- what is it about these young scholars who hold on to old paradigms -- tell me?) Luckily, academic freedom is a big deal here, so all this is merely an irritant, and one that I am surprised I STILL have to deal with. Again, these pages are just being created, but you're welcome to enjoy the process along with us.
