Call for papers -- Special Issue on Community Practice
[Announcement from SCRA-L]
The Journal
of Community Practice announces a call
for papers to appear in a special issue of the journal related to the theme "
Interdisciplinary Scholarship for Community Practice," guest edited by Lorraine M. Gutierrez, Larry Gant and Katie
Richards Schuster at the University of Michigan.
At the turn of the
21st century, we would not have envisioned the challenges and
opportunities that exist today in our nation and the world. In 2000, we would
not have predicted the degree to which global and domestic terrorism, economic
adjustments, natural disasters, migration and immigration, new and emerging
technologies, globalization and other phenomena would impact the structure and
substance of our lives. The conditions of this past decade have affected us
all. Economic trends have taken a significant toll on the lives of those who
are most vulnerable. These challenges are not unique to the US and are mirrored
around the globe.
But with these
challenges, the 21st century also offers opportunities that are
possible in an increasingly technological and interconnected world that can
create possibilities for multicultural, intergenerational participation,
innovative models of community organization, cross-sector collaboration,
participatory media, and new forms of knowledge development. What is the role
of community practice in this environment?
We are interested
in scholarly papers focused on the continuing evolution of community practice
for meeting the needs of an increasingly changing world. We are particularly interested in papers that
focus on the implications of emerging demographic trends and social conditions,
the emergent research methods, and the use of innovative methods, such as the
arts or information technology, in community practice. As an interdisciplinary journal grounded in
social work, we encourage papers that demonstrate interdisciplinary
collaboration and community-based scholarship.
Submission: Manuscripts should
be submitted online by April 1, 2013 and labeled FOR SPECIAL ISSUE for consideration by the special issue editors. Submission
is via http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/wcom.
Manuscripts may be approximately 25 typed pages double-spaced (including the
abstract, references, tables and figures). Please contact Lorraine Gutierrez (lorraing@umich.edu) with any questions
about this special issue.
