| Addressing Barriers to University-Community Collaboration: Organizing by Experts or Organizing the Experts? | University-community partnerships, and COPC programs
in particular, offer important opportunities for traditionally segregated
groups to work together in collaborative relationships. The challenge of
bringing people who possess distinct differences in background and social
power together is a long-standing issue. | | university and community partnerships.pdf | http://www.haworthpress.com/web/COM © 2004 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved. Digital Object Identifier: 10.1300/J125v12n03_13 |

| Changing Nature of Leadership (CNL) | Connected leadership is an emerging view of leadership as an inclusive and collective networked
activity occurring throughout organizations. Out of this project grew the Changing Nature of
Leadership (CNL) research. Its focus: to explore the current field of leadership and forecast future
trends. CNL relied on several interdependent streams of research, including academic literature,
surveys, benchmarking and classroom research. | | c4.pdf | 2005 Changing Nature of Leadership Report; André Martin |
| Leadership Learning Community A Learning Lab Synthesis | On March 14th, 2008, the Leadership Learning Community (LLC) and the Center for Ethical Leadership partnered to bring together 30 community activists from the Kellogg Fellows for Community Change (KLCC) program and friends, all interested in learning from our own experiences about collective leadership. We gathered in Austin, Texas from all parts of the United States to work together to answer important questions about collective leadership because we believe that together we can learn more than any one of us could learn alone. | | leadership learning.pdf | Leadership Learning Community A Learning Lab Synthesis |

| Community Organizing and Regionalism | In 1996, the Gamaliel Foundation, a national network of more than 40 congregationbased
community organizing projects, adopted a regional approach to community organizing, consolidating local projects into metropolitan organizations and addressing regional dynamics of sprawl and socioeconomic polarization. Through participant observation and interviews at metropolitan and national levels, I examine the effects of regionalism on community organizing. I find that a regional approach may help organizers manage longstanding dilemmas of ideology—how to balance broad appeal with sharp analysis—and scale—how to maintain democratic participation while organizing beyond the local level. I look briefly at the effects of grassroots organizing on regionalism, and find that it may give it a more radical and populist thrust. | | regions.pdf | City & Community 3:4 December 2004 C American Sociological Association, 1307 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20005-4701 |
| Constructing the ‘Neighborhood Sphere’: gender and community organizing [1] | This article examines organizing styles and issues in neighborhood activism to illustrate
how activists seek to constitute a neighborhood community. It identies the ways in which community
organizing is gendered in both style and content, often separating ‘women’s’ and ‘men’s’ issues along an articial public–private divide. This research illustrates, however, how neighborhood activists can use and challenge gendered forms of activism to integrate both public and private into an ideal of a neighborhood community. | | community organizing and gender.pdf | Gender, Place and Culture, Vol. 9, No. 4, pp. 333–350, 2002 |
| The Decision Case Method: Teaching and Training for Grassroots Community Organizing | Although seldom used for educating community organizers, the decision case method of teaching fits well with grassroots community organizing philosophy. The decision case method can help students and grassroots leaders learn how to critically analyze problems, develop successful solutions, and learn more about themselves and collaborative work. Instructors may use it as a strategy for teaching grassroots community organizing in the social work classroom | | decision case model.pdf | Journal of Community Practice, Vol. 14(4) 2006 Available online at http://com.haworthpress.com © 2006 by The Haworth Press, Inc.

| Play, Creativity, and the New Community Organizing | In recent years, a new breed of organizing has ignited campaigns for peace and justice. Many of these campaigns utilize innovative approaches to organizing diverse communities against a broad range of local and transnational targets. This new form of community organizing emphasizes elements of play, creativity, joy, peer-based popular education, cultural activism, and a healthy dose of experimentation. Themes of community building and renewal of democracy run throughout. | | play and community org.pdf | |

| Venture Philanthropy and Social Entrepreneurship in Community Redevelopment | This article provides a case study of Tom Cousins, a social entrepreneur who used his own venture philanthropic investments and leveraged additional resources through extensive publicprivate partnerships for the sole intent of redeveloping an area of disinvestment and poverty. In the process, Cousins also provided the visionary, strategic, and operational leadership often associated with the actions and responsibilities of a social entrepreneur. | | philanthropy and soc entre.pdf | |
