FYI... Stefanie Rixecker ECOFEM Coordinator ------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: "Steve Holmes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2001 6:28 PM Subject: Announcing new website: Environment/Life/Work I'm pleased to invite you all to participate in a new project devoted to the intersection of environment and academia/work in our own lives: the Environment/Life/Work website, at http://environmental_lives.tripod.com. The site provides a place for academics and professionals in environmentally-related fields to reflect upon the personal experiences of nature and place that have shaped our intellectual and career paths, the ways in which our study and work have shaped our patterns of environmental experience, and our goals and challenges for the future. In doing so, I hope the project will help give a human face to our professional lives and works, serving as a way to get to know each other by sharing what brings us to our various fields and endeavors - the sparks and dreams that have set us off and been our companions on the long strange trips we all have undertaken, both intellectually and personally. The website was originally designed to supplement the boundary-pushing questions and concerns of "Confluence: An Ante-Conference in Environmental History," an informal gathering to be held in Tucson, AZ, February 16-19, 2001 (organized by Mark Hineline and Rachel Shaw; see http://helix.ucsd.edu/~hineline/Confluence.html); but anyone can participate in the new site. Feel free to pass this announcement on to anyone you think might be interested, in any field, both in and out of academia. The project is still in its infancy, and will evolve as more and more people participate; I hope you find it interesting and stimulating. Please contact me if you have any questions or suggestions, or - best of all - to submit your own writing! Cheers, Steve Steven J. Holmes 170 Walter St. 1 Roslindale MA 02131 (617) 323-9764 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://environmental_lives.tripod.com P.S. I apologize for the annoying little advertising banners that come up in a separate window when you access the site - the price we pay for a free site. If you don't close the advertising window, but rather let it run underneath as you peruse and navigate the site, sometimes it doesn't reappear when you open each page; but sometimes it does. ------- End of forwarded message ------- ************************************ Dr. Stefanie S.
