I heard someone say that a male deep ecologist went to an ecofeminist
conference and said that there needs to be more work on controlling reproduction
amoung third world women. This seems to be a major difference, an ecofeminist
approach would stress empowerment of women as a better strategy for dealing
with overpopulation. I don't think that the philosophy of deep ecology and
ecofeminism are far appart, however, in practice the differences seem to
surface. I can't say if this is because more men are deep ecologists and more
women are ecofeminists, but there does seem to be some gender connection.
(By the way, the person who told me that story said the male deep ecologist was
boo -ed out of the conference, but that might not be accurate)
As far as deep ecology goes, I like the idea of biocentrism, though economic
thinking is not long term enough with most people for them to see the econmic
logic implied by this.
Just some thoughts,
Joe

Forgive my ignorance: I am new to the list.
What exactly is deep ecology?

Subject: Deep Ecology vs. Ecofeminism!!!! Grrrrr!!
Thank you for bringing up a good topic. In my resent readings I have run
across the sparks, although few and far between, of these schools of
philosophy and it fascinates me.
It has been my impression that feminism plays a similar role in a lot of
movements. Many feel that by including the woman's perspective on an issue,
especially an urgent one, you are diverting energy from "the real work" that
needs to be done. Such is also the case with bringing in racial and class
issues. And yet, you would think with the long-term goals of Deep Ecology,
that this type of short term thinking would be avoidable. Apparently in some
circles it is not.
However, I feel that deep ecology and bioregionalism are ultimatly more
diverse than that. One is responsible for adapting a philosophy to one's mind
and intuition, and I have never had trouble merging ecofeminism and deep
ecology on my own terms.
I am curious if anyone has found theses philosophies mutually exclusive in
any way? Is there something I have overlooked?

Subject: Graduate School
Dear Everyone:
I am currently looking into graduate schools - in human ecology, anthropology
and ecology. In an ideal world that school would be in New York City, but . .
..
Do any of you have a recommendation? I will consider going world wide!
Thank you!
