CFP: Peace & War Issues

1997-01-14 Thread STEFANIE S. RIXECKER

Dear ECOFEMers,

War is a terrible contributor to environmental degradation, and 
feminism has certainly contributed a fair amount to peace studies, so 
I thought this conference might interest some of you.  Sorry about 
any duplications; it came from femisa.
