Submit your writing to COMM-ORG:  The On-Line Conference on Community 
Organizing and Development

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, 
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 usually publishable in journals and 
other official publications.

COMM-ORG welcomes papers from scholars, organizers, other practitioners, 
and students. 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. pdf 
files will not be considered.
    *  Text must be in single column format.
    *  All papers will be formatted in html using the COMM-ORG style.
    *  Authors of previously published work are responsible for seeking 
permission from the original publisher for posting on COMM-ORG.

Thanks for your interest.
