Description:
We invite submissions that represent all areas of community research and action, including:
new contributions to theory, methodology, and practice; contributions toward the implementation and dissemination of innovative programs; and analysis of public policy.
Program presentations are welcome on a range of topics, including any of the following:
* human and civil rights * human diversity and social ecology * prevention of problems in living * promotion of competence and health * empowerment of historically disenfranchised groups * evaluation of community-based programs and services * collective social action * self and mutual help * community-based interventions, advocacy, consultation, and training * interactions of groups in the larger community * institutional and organizational change * methods for conducting community research * professional and educational issues
A major goal of the conference is to foster constructive discussion, interaction, and exchange of ideas involving community research and action. Program proposals that emphasize active interaction among presenters and the audience, and the integration of diverse perspectives are especially encouraged.
