Hi COMM-ORG.  I have finally finished the 2008 Papers collection at http://comm-org.wisc.edu/comm-org/page.php?7.  I will now get started with the 2009 papers.  Along with my schedule, which is always a problem, is the increasing difficulty of creating clean html from Microsoft documents.  So I apologize for the delays.

The final 2008 papers are:

1. Eva Gold, Kristine Lewis, Gretchen Suess, Cheryl Jones-Walker, and Sonia Rosen, Writing to be Heard.  This is a collection of three papers by youth researchers doing school organizing, which includes:

-William Crosby, Antonia George, Ashley Hatch, Rahdia Robinson, & Terrese Thomas, Building Respectful Communities:  Kensington Students Examine Adult-Student Relationships in their New Small Schools

-Rasheeda Enoch and Gerardo Zuviri, What Olney Teachers say about their Students and School

-Tiffany Fogle and Lawrence Jones, Parents Speak Up and Out about Parents’ Participation in Urban Public High Schools

2. Justin Whelan, Advocacy Evaluation: Review and Opportunities

Thanks, as always, to these authors for their contributions.
