Hi Folks, Thanks to everyone who replied to my query in re: women in GEP. Compiled responses below. Mark Axelrod also reminded me that Nikki Detraz has a new book on the subject. Go Nikki!

I have attached two readings and an in-class exercise I use to discuss them. Students form groups of about 4-5 people and spend about an hour discussing these. Some years I have them report back to the whole group. The Campbell reading is a bit long for this purpose; I originally chose it because it takes a closer look at an iconic GEP movement (rubber tappers), but even that has less traction for students these days. Cheers, Paul Hi, In response to your request, I would strongly recommend the work of Ariel Salleh, which develops a critical approach of global environmental politics through the lens of ecofeminism. In particualr, her 2009 edited book Eco-Sufficiency and Global Justice contains many interesting contributions. Ana Isla's recent book is in the same vein. Yvonne Brown has some interesting material on gender and environmental justice in the context of international development - does that qualify as GEP? Finally, Holly Buck has an original article on gender and geoengineering, the only one that I kow of on the topic.

Happy International Women's Day! jp Jean Philippe Sapinski Post-doctoral fellow Department of Sociology University of Victoria, BC Email: [email protected]/JPSapinskiwww.researchgate.net/profile/Jean_Philippe_Sapinski Excellent! My Australian compatriots Hilary Charlesworth and Christine Chinkin were two of the first international law scholars to wrestle with the invisible place of gender in international law. It might be worth looking into their work, as well as the subsequent feminist international law scholarship, for ideas to bring into GEP. (I did my undergrad law thesis with Charlesworth, looking at women in the biodiversity convention, which I later translated into a piece on the desertification treaty for the Harvard International Law Journal a long time ago.) Alastair Iles Associate Professor of Environmental Policy and Societal Change Department of Environmental Science, Policy & Management 130 Mulford Hall UC Berkeley Berkeley CA 94720 Dear DG, thanks for sharing this presentation. I saw an image of Christiane Figueres in it. Having observed COP21 in Paris myself, I must say that this unexpected and tremendous success was in fact forged to a great extent by women. Apart from Christiana the ”blacksmiths“ of success were in my view - Laurence Tubiana, who managed the French COP presidency, - Mary Robinson (UN-SG Special Envoy on Climate), - Nozipho Mxakato-Diseko (South African ambassador and lead negotiator of G77+China), - Farhana Yamin (who as an consultant/advisor to the delegation of the Marshall Islands was instrumental behind the scenes in bringing together the so-called high ambition coalition) - and Carole Dieschburg (Env. Minister of Luxembourg and voice of the EU in Paris). Without these extraordinary women we would not have the Paris Agreement as it is today! If you ever come across a portrait/account of the role of these women in the Paris Agreement, I would be eager to read it. Kind Regards Lukas .....................................
