Recommendation: Individuals and groups engaged in environmental research, design and writing should replace gender-role stereotyping in literature and research by non-judgemental performance standards. (3) Given that women are relegated to positions of power over minimal resources, there is a lack of women in genuine policy-making positions. Recommendation: Women are to be encouraged to consider all their contributions within a given situation even if it is made on a voluntary basis (not salaried). They should assert their right to policy-making positions based on the quality of the above contributions. To encourage the participation of women in policy-making, they should be encouraged to acquire the skills needed for such involvement through special training. (4) Women, particularly students and younger graduates lack a variety of identifiable role models. Recommendation: Women should be employed in a variety of positions in areas where a considerable number of female students occur. This applies to schools of architecture, planning, environmental design, urban studies, etc... The workshop members believe that there is a continuing need for a communication and support network to allow the larger female membership to know what is happening and who is doing what. To this effect a questionnaire was circulated at the conference and included in the April edition of this newsletter. The responses will be compiled and distributed to all participants of the workshop. Additional copies will be available from Anne-Marie Pollowy. The workshop members have decided to schedule another meeting for EDRA 9. Specific topic suggestions are requested and should be sent to Anne-Marie Pollowy, Faculte de l'Amenagement, Universite de Montreal, Quebec H3C 3J7.
