CFP - Bridging Communities: Community Theory and Practice in a Changing World" (Ontario, Canada)
This conference is being organized to enhance interdisciplinary ties between those in the academic world exploring ideas of community, and those practitioners and organizations focused on community work.
Across the disciplines we find diverse definitions, boundaries and societal implications associated with ideas of 'community' - making for complex and contested theoretical terrain. Meanwhile, community, as a powerful taken-for-granted discourse in our day-to-day worlds, serves as the basis for a diversity of local social, environmental, and political practices. And, it does this within continuously shifting social and political contexts. It is this juncture of community theory and praxis upon which the Laurier Brantford conference is situated this coming September 30-October 2, 2004.
