Chicago,
IL
May

Call for Proposals
The Society for Community
Research and Action (Division 27) encourages proposals for poster
presentations, symposia, and roundtable discussions that will facilitate the
exchange of innovative ideas and promote constructive dialogue on topics
involving community research and action. Program proposals that emphasize
active interaction among presenters, the audience, and community members and
that include presenters from different university and community settings are
especially encouraged. Proposals by undergraduate and graduate students also
are encouraged.
We welcome submissions that
involve any area of community research and action, including, but not limited
to, the following:
• Contributions to the theory,
methods, or practice of community research and action
• Program development,
implementation, dissemination and evaluation
• Innovations in or reflections
on training in community psychology and allied disciplines
• Examples of interdisciplinary
and community collaborations
• Translation of research on
community practice to social action
Program Formats
• Poster Presentations can
include results from individual research papers, descriptions of
community-based programs, results from program evaluations, or other community
based projects.
• Symposia offer a forum
for discussion and debate of diverse perspectives as they pertain to
significant issues in the field. Symposia should include 3 to 4 presentations
organized around a common theme, issue or set of questions. Symposia should
allow significant time for discussion and audience participation. Inclusion of
community members is welcomed but not required.
• Roundtable Discussions provide
a more interactive and less formal forum for dialogue. This format is
appropriate for sessions that involve active discussion among panel members and
audience members, and sessions in which the presenters' role is to facilitate
audience exploration of an issue.
Student Poster Awards
Three monetary poster awards
will be given to the top student posters. Top posters will be identified by a
panel of judges at the conference based on strength of methodology, relevance
to community psychology, and visual presentation of the information on the
poster. Please see instructions for authors (below) if you would like your
poster to be considered for the student poster award.
