Call for Papers: Community Organizing and Development

Posted by on February 18, 2005

Hi COMM-ORG,

Here is the annual call for papers. Please feel welcomed to redistribute.

Are you writing a paper, thesis, or dissertation 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 website and announced on its accompanying list-serve, which reaches over 1000 people across more than a dozen nations. We welcome discussion of all papers on the list-serve 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. You can also find out more at http://comm-org.utoled.edu

Authors retain complete control over their work, and COMM-ORG supports authors revising their work for later submission to journals, trade publications, or anywhere.

COMM-ORG welcomes papers from scholars, organizers, and scholar-organizers. We also welcome previously published hard-to-find writing.

We 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.

Thank you,

Randy Stoecker
