To anyone interested in or working on issues of sustainable development
and women, I am interested in advice, resources, etc. for my
undergraduate thesis. I have been writing about the need for cooperation
between NGOs and women in the Northern Transvaal of South Africa for some
type of local level sustainable development. What do you think? Please
e-mail me if you have anything to say about it. Thanks.
Keep well,

This is not silence being consent however. Because if they did not ask
you, how would they know to send you a copy?
Silence being consent is an argument used in a lot of abuse situations.
You cannot take someone saying nothing to mean 'yes'. If someone
hit you and said, 'but you didn't say no!' this would count as abuse.
In this case it is much less violent, you are only taking something that
someone has said. The general idea remains the same, you are
taking something without consent and without knowledge.

Call For Papers
At The Crossroads, a feminist magazine, is looking for articles, essays, book
reviews first person accounts, theory, research, poetry and artwork. Writings
should be on the general subject matter of the magazine: the exploration of
reality, especially spiritual reality using the perspectives and tools of
feminism, spirituality and new paradigm science. Topics covered in At The
Crossroads include: ecofeminism, indigenous science, critiques of
patriarchal science, parapsychology, the religious right, spiritual traditions
across the globe, lesbian-feminist analysis, racism, new paradigm science,
and much more. Besides publishing a variety of articles and book reviews,
every issue of At The Crossroads includes a Forum - a series of essays
usually including a wide variety of opinions on a special topic. Forum topics
for the next several issues are:
Issue #7 How can feminists and feminist publications like At The
Crossroads dismantle the "star"/"expert" systems and create a truly
grassroots movement that encourages all women to speak and be heard?
Tentative deadline: June 1, 1995
Issue #8 Are feminist therapy and/or 12 step groups weakening
feminism and feminist communities by individualizing and depoliticizing
feminism or are feminist therapy and/or 12 step groups strengthening
feminism by strengthening us as individuals and providing useful
frameworks for understanding feminist issues?
Issue #9 Does spiritual knowledge make people "saintly" (unusually
benevolent, compassionate and/or psychologically healthy) or are people
with spiritual knowledge as likely as anyone else to act as patriarchal
oppressors (dominating, arrogant, sexist, racist, self-centered, mean, and/or
violent)?
Issue #10 Is the feminist movement (including feminist thought,
feminist community and the individual feminists who make up the
movement) changing for the better or is the movement becoming less strong
and/or less radical due to social forces such as the backlash against feminism
and the increasing power of the religious right and right wing conservatives?
Forum contributions should be 500-1500 words in length; other contributions
can be as long as 4000 words. If you'd like to see our writers'
guidelines (and more information about the magazine) send SASE to:
At The Crossroads, P.O. Box 112, St. Paul, AR 72760.
