English | 2005 | pages: 214 | ISBN: 0805843949, 1410612988 | PDF | 4,2 mb
This volume-an outgrowth of the annual meeting of the Claremont Symposium on Applied Social Psychology-focuses on examples of social change and community action, and the processes at work in creating change. The presenters engaged each other and the audience in thinking about how best to create and sustain social change. This volume represents a product of their cumulative insight, research results, and perspectives, including chapters from each of the symposium presenters, as well as a few selected chapters from other noted scholars. Taken as a whole, the volume is highly accessible and presents findings from provocative and programmatic research that offer illuminating lessons for anyone interested in attempts at community change, civic participation, and social action.
