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.
