I see myself as a mix between a Liberal feminist and an ecofeminist. I
started as an ecofeminst, but has now started to believe in the Liberal
feminism.
My opinion is that if there is a "natural" difference between women and
men, the difference isn't as big as we think today. I don't think women
are softer, more caring, more peaceful etc. by nature. I think these
characters are developed when we grow up in today's society. We grow up
to what we are supposed to be. And I think it is important that we try
to get away from the typical "female" and "male". To get to the higher
positions women need to tougher and less caring than a woman is suppose
to be. Women need to get more of the, what we today call male qualities.
But.....
By saying this I still think that the "female" qualities/nature are
under estimated. Men need more of these qualities and they need higher
status. To be caring about nature and people is extremely important and
must get a higher rank in our society.
I think that men and women are born the same and that it is the society
that shape us to the individuals we'll become. (My Liberal feminism) The
qualities most women have today are underestimated compared to the
qualities men have today, and we have to change that (My ecofeminism)
I consider myself as a Liberal Ecofeminist.
What do you think?
Hope I get some answers...
Britta

The Science, Technology, and Globalization (STG) Program at Embry Riddle
University in Prescott AZ welcomes applications for a tenure-track
faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. The STG
Program is a new and interdisciplinary program based in the
Humanities/Social Science Department and therefore possesses a strong
foundation in cultural, political, economic, linguistic, and
psychological analysis of science, technology, and globalization. The STG
Program, however, has strong interests and ties to the Engineering,
Computer Science, and Aeronautical Science Departments of our University.
The successful candidate should be able to teach service courses in
humanities and/or social sciences as well as interact (i.e., curriculum
development, teach, research) with other departments. In addition, the
candidate will be expected to teach courses in the core (e.g., Technology
and Civilization, Evolution of Scientific Thought, Global Policy Studies)
and in the advanced (e.g., Global Technosciences, Environment and
Culture, Security and Globalization) section of STG. Finally, the
candidate will be expected to offer a significant contribution to one of
the three areas of concentration: Global Management, Globalization and
the Environment; Globalization and Security. The candidate should bring a
new dimension to the already existing structure of STG by means of
innovative course development and research. We encourage cross
disciplinary work that may include a candidate who works between security
and the environment, management and the environment, or security and
management. The ideal candidate will have a record or show promise of
significant research and grant writing ability. We encourage interested
candidates to look at our web page to have a closer look at the course
offerings, industry connections, current faculty, and international
programs (http://www.pr.erau.edu/~huss/stg/).
Application deadline: May 15, 1998. Interested candidates please send
application materials (cover letter, vitae, two letters of
recommendation, sample of published work, and syllabi) to:
