Description
How can change be promoted and sustained in disadvantaged communities and for children in communities? How can professionals be supported to bring about positive change in communities? How can collaborative research and evaluation make a difference? The chapters in this book, emanating from the Communities and Change Conference at the University of Sydney in 2007, explore these questions, demonstrating the challenging and constructive connections between education and social work, between universities and community organisations, and between research and practice.
