Sustainable development viewpoints
Inspirations
Inspiration: I am inspired by how much we share as woman and how our own
perceptions are challenged by our differences. S.D Interests:
Women-feminism/gender relating to politics, religion, unifaith and social
justice. I am especially interested in Asian religion and culture as well
as global development education.
Concerns and encouragement
List of S.D. issues which need to be
addressed in order to promote change: Decision making which limits access
and participation ( for example - top down, decision-making process defined
according to class, race, gender, economics, technology) should be revamped
towards increased public participation; Perception of the polarities of
the faulty juxta position between livelihood and environment should change. .
Changes needed
List of changes needed in our social and economic
framework to promote sustainability: 1) We need to be open to changing and
integrating our ways of thinking and stop securing the world in terms of
winners and losers, 2) We should be open to use the insights from other
peoples' learning and experience, 3) We should end unsustainable consumption
patterns, 4) We need new models for economic growth, 5) There should be
movement away from technical fixes.
