Strength-based learning groups support educators to create equitable learning environments for economically marginalized students
Community Gardening as an Organizing Strategy
Community gardening is a novel application to community organizing. The point of this article is to place this mode of organizing in a community-based perspective. By becoming community-based, this organizing strategy will become organic and help to strengthen community bonds and promote collective action. In a community-based project, local knowledge and control are paramount. But for this change to occur a proper, underlying philosophy must be …
The Dynamics of Local Participation
As part of the "new public participation movement," participatory budgeting is a systematic attempt to ameliorate institutionalized inequality, inequity, and injustice by enhancing how democracy works and expanding who participates genuinely. This commitment to more democratic, inclusive decision-making is important for empowering communities who have been subject to marginalization and exploitation. However, participatory budgeting must be imple…
Is Community-based Work Compatible with Data Collection
Although community-based projects have introduced a successful model for addressing many social problems, less consideration has been given to how such projects should be evaluated. This paper considers whether the philosophy underlying community-based practice is compatible with data collection. Specifically at issue is whether empirical indicators are helpful to summarize a project. Although having valid knowledge is important, this paper makes…

Who says what to whom
Issue frames (i.e., the thematic slants that elites use to structure issue debates) have been shown to alter how citizens think about social policy issues. However, support for a social policy issue not only depends on how the issue is framed, but also on the source or "messenger" associated with the frame. For the most part, issue frames have been faceless and research has failed to consider how characteristics of the frame's messenger such as e…

Understanding the Consequences of Group Labeling for the Women's Movement
In this article we explore the consequences of group labeling for the women's movement. We consider citizens' demand for cognitive simplicity and the vulnerability that such abbreviation engenders. To the extent that group labels such as “feminists,” “radical feminists,” and “women concerned about gender equality” are used to summarize the movement's beliefs and actions, they serve as a shorthand for the movement, becoming detached from the full …

Feuds about Families
Luhmann, N. Social Systems
Politics of Culture
Postmodern philosophy is shown to be a valuable tool for exposing the bankruptcy of laissez-faire economics and culture and in developing a democratic policy. Despite the claims made by conservatives, Choi, Callaghan, and Murphy argue that an unencumbered market does not encourage pluralism. Sources of power are left intact that work in various ways to truncate democracy. Postmodernism offers an alternative to the conservative ideology and provid…
Recommendations for Educational Reform in the United States
This article suggests that the United States educational system needs significant changes. The goal of the article is to present a basic educational philosophy that would facilitate this reform. Specifically, education should be viewed as not only a means to an end that teaches basic skills for employment, but also as a process that enhances social development and self-actualization. Recommendations are offered to achieve this important goal
Family Imagery and Social Intervention
In this paper the relationship between social intervention and family imagery is discussed in terms of the current argument that the family is in a state of decline. The popular themes regarding family life are criticized as basically a-social and insensitive. Consequently, intervention based on such imagery attempts to bolster families by targeting individual shortcomings. Popular family imagery does not provide support for intervention which ad…
Systems theory and the family
In this paper systems theory is criticized as outlining an inappropriate model of the family. Because of the basic tenets of this philosophy, family life is conceived abstractly and reified. Although the systems approach is currently gaining popularity among practitioners, the authors contend this viewpoint must be overcome. Instead of a system the family should be conceived as a matrix of interlocking experiences. In this way, socially sensitive…
The Ecological Model, Holism, and Socially Sensitive Counseling
The ecological viewpoint represents a great advance over prior models for conceptualizing social institutions, such as the family. Because this approach is holistic and non-reductionistic, socially sensitive counseling and other forms of intervention are possible. Nonetheless, due to the close association between the ecological model and systems theory, structural metaphors are employed to describe social life. As a result, if the ecological mode…
