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.
