 Policy, Action, Research - List The PAR-L discussion list is an online forum of more than 1,400 people, primarily women--and some men--in Canada, and also in more than a dozen other countries, who are interested in promoting women's equality. Subscribers include grassroots activists, researchers, academics, policy analysts, journalists and many others. This bilingual (English/French) list is open to any individual or organization interested in discussing policy, action, and research on issues of concern to women in Canada. The scope is intentionally broad to provide an open forum where feminist activists, scholars, and researchers can come together, communicate, share, and disseminate information in a supportive environment. Postings to PAR-L include: discussion and analysis of current issues; announcements of upcoming women's events or actions, women's book publications, and feminist conferences; responses to government, business, or university decisions affecting women; job descriptions that are specifically oriented towards women; and calls for action that are relevant within Canada and beyond. PAR-L has two co-moderators. Wendy Robbins is a professor of English and Women's
Studies at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton. Michèle Ollivier is a
professor of Sociology at the University of Ottawa. The moderators
screen all messages sent to PAR-L to ensure that they fall within the parameters
of research and advocacy on policy issues affecting women in Canada. They can be
reached at mode@unb.ca.
