Randy Stoecker moderates the COMM-ORG listserv and edits the
COMM-ORG web site and Papers collection. I am currently Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin, and have been providing support services to community organizing and development groups for over a decade, including ACORN, the West Bank Community Development Corporation, the Lagrange Village Council/Lagrange Development Corporation, Organizing Neighbors Yielding Excellence, and other.. If you wish, you can see my academic vita or e-folio.
Please contact me with questions and/or concerns about COMM-ORG in general or this web site at randy@comm-org.wisc.edu.

As moderator of the COMM-ORG List-serv, I try to intervene as little as possible. I do not reject any posts, but return about 1 of every 20 or so for clarification. All the comments I make on a post are only suggestions, and I will send out the original post at the author's request.

As editor of the COMM-ORG web site and papers series, my job is to make sure the papers communicate as clearly as possible. I see editing as a negotiated process, and all of my suggested changes are open to discussion.
