Call for Papers

Are you writing a paper on community organizing, community development, community planning, community-based research or a related area? COMM-ORG is looking for papers to post on the COMM-ORG Papers page. 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. They welcome discussion of all papers on the list-serve and encourage our members to also send comments directly to authors.

They 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 planning. 

The roles of religious institutions in community organizing.

The paper must be submitted electronically to Randy Stoecker at randy@comm-org.wisc.edu using a word processing or html format; absolutely no pdf files will be considered. * Text must be in single column format. You agree that your paper will be formatted in html using theCOMM-ORG style. 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 regularly published in journals and other publications. COMM-ORG welcomes papers from scholars, organizers, and scholar-organizers. They also welcome previously published hard-to-find writing.
