CORE DILEMMAS OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZING SERIES
______________________________________________________________
In this series at OpenLeft.com I have been critically examining different aspects of community organizing. Older posts in the series originally posted on Education Policy Blog are available here.
ONLINE COMMUNITY ORGANIZING COURSE
______________________________________________________________
These are the lectures from an online Introduction to Community Organizing course. This course is designed to teach students how to think like organizers, and doesn't try to actually provide the skills necessary to act like an organizer.
EDUCATION POLICY BLOG

I also post on the group blog, Education Policy Blog.
Note on Blogging and Scholarship
______________________________________________________________
In my published scholarship, I seek to be as accurate and comprehensive as possible. I see blogging as a very different animal. My posts are really "think pieces," meant to provoke thinking and frame out possibilities, often written very quickly. When I cite research, I do it selectively, often from examples I happen to know about. The option for people to respond means that if I make obvious mistakes, there is an opportunity for the community to correct them (to the extent that anyone is reading my posts in the first place). Please note that I have frequently edited and will continue to develop blog posts without necessarily indicating I have done this. See also "Why I Blog."
