I wonder if this special issue might be suitable for our work if I
renamed the method as narrative case analysis?! What do you think?

Subject: [COMMUNITYPSYCHUK] Call for papers, special issue of JCASP on
case studies
Dear colleagues,
See below a call for papers that may be of interest to some of you.
Flora.
Special issue call for papers
Journal of Community and Applied Social Psychology
Case studies in Community and Social Psychology
Submission deadline 30 April 2011
Edited by Darrin Hodgetts & Ottilie Stolte (University of Waikato)
Focus of the special issue
This special issue explores the relevance of case studies for community
and social psychology. The primary aims of the issue are to:
* Review the theoretical basis, applications and implications of
case studies
* Showcase exemplary empirical studies
* Advance understanding of the use of case studies in community
action
Case studies can be constructed through engagements with single or
multiple stakeholders and the use of quantitative and qualitative
methods. Preference will be given to submissions using innovative
combinations of qualitative methods to construct case studies that
address issues of social concern.
Background
Case studies are widely used in community and social psychological
research, action and teaching. When teaching about social issues and
efforts to address these, we often draw upon cases to exemplify key
points of concern, ground societal process in actual examples, and
foreground stakeholder experiences. In research, case studies are used
to investigate particular situations in relation to the wider social
forces at play, and function as a basis for extending conceptual
understandings of particular issues. Through the accumulation of
multiple data sources in the creation of case studies, social scientists
seek to demonstrate how a myriad of events and relationships may be
interconnected and embedded in the lives of individuals, families and
communities. Case studies also allow us to engage in more depth with
people over time, to witness and contextualize changes and developments
in their lives, and to conduct research with rather than on people.
Given the potential benefits of case studies for building rich
understandings of societal and community processes, and for informing
teaching and action, the time is right to clarify relevant theoretical
and methodological issues. This special issue will clarify the intent
and use of case studies in applied settings while highlighting links
between theory, research and action (praxis).
Deadlines and submission process
The deadline for manuscripts to be considered for publication is 30
April 2011. The issue will be published in 2012. Papers should be
submitted via the JCASP online system and tagged for the special issue
on case studies. Normal JCASP guidelines for authors apply. Further
information can be obtained from Darrin Hodgetts via email
