Call for Papers on Community Organizing
Posted by on January 25, 2010
COMM-ORG: The On-line Conference on Community Organizing
http://comm-org.wisc.edu
COMM-ORG invites papers for its 2010 Papers Collection
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 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 [email protected].
Authors retain complete control over their work, and COMM-ORG supports authors revising their Working Papers for submission to journals, trade publications, or anywhere. Because COMM-ORG is an on-line “conference,” papers presented on COMM-ORG are easily published in journals and other official publications.
COMM-ORG welcomes papers from scholars (students and faculty), organizers and other practitioners, and scholar-organizers. We also welcome previously published hard-to-find writing with permission from
the original publisher.
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.
If you wish to submit a paper:
* The paper must be submitted using a word processing format–no pdf files will be considered.
* Text must be in single column format.
* All papers will be formatted in html using the COMM-ORG style.
