The COMM-ORG Papers Series

Posted by on February 28, 2004

Dear Service-Learning colleagues,

Call for Papers:
The COMM-ORG Papers Series

Are you writing a paper on:
* community organizing?
* community development?
* community planning?
* community-based research?
* a related area?

COMM-ORG is looking for papers to post on the COMM-ORG Papers page. All papers are posted on the COMM-ORG web site (http://comm-org.utoledo.edu/papers.htm) and announced on the COMM-ORG listserv, which reaches over 900 people across more than a dozen nations. They welcome discussion of all papers on the listserv and encourage our members to also send comments directly to authors.

To submit a paper contact the editor, Randy Stoecker, at randy@comm-org.utoledo.edu. Please send papers as word processing or html files (no pdf files please, as they are still not accessible enough).

Authors retain complete control over their work, and COMM-ORG supports authors revising their Papers for submission to journals, trade publications, or anywhere. Because COMM-ORG is an on-line “conference,” papers presented on COMM-ORG are often published in journals and other official publications.

COMM-ORG welcomes papers from scholars, organizers, and scholar-organizers.

They are especially interested in papers on the following and other topics:

* What works and what doesn’t in community organizing, planning, and development.
* Real-life stories of community organizing and/or development campaigns.
* The relationships between theories and practices in community organizing.
* The history of community organizing in a changing structural-historical context.
* Linkages between community organizing and community development.
* Linkages between community organizing and planning.
* The roles of religious institutions in community organizing.
* Linkages between community organizing and social movements.
* The roles of gender, race, identity, and ideology in community organizing.
* Activist-academic collaborations in community organizing.
