~~COMM-ORG 2006 Call For Papers~~

 Have you written 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, 
http://comm-org.wisc.edu/papers.htm.  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 at comm-org.wisc.edu.

Authors retain complete control over their work, and COMM-ORG supports 
authors revising their 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, 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.
