That looks excellent I'll definately submit and abstract
I have been working by the way! been working on the analysis in chapter 5; the last section on identity. it is now 14 pages... !
I still have to refine it alot and so hopefully edit it down, because it is rather long for one section of one chapter! Should have it finished this weekend and will hand it in for you to look at Monday

Special issue: Children as protagonists: Participatory action
research in collaboration with children.
Abstract due date: August 6, 2007
Participatory action research is a methodology that is growing in
its use in social science and education research. PAR is a
theoretical standpoint and collaborative methodology that is
designed to ensure that those who are affected by the research
project have a voice in that project. Cycles of a PAR project may
include participants being engaged in any or all of the following:
helping to formulate the problem definition, assessing the problem,
determining an intervention, implementing the intervention, and
assessing the intervention. Multiple methods are often used with
PAR, including surveys, focus groups, interviews, photovoice, and
observations. Although more articles are being published using a PAR
conceptualization, few of these projects are conducted with younger
children serving as collaborators.
The purpose of this special issue is to bring together some of the
best empirical and theoretical articles dealing with PAR with
children, and to critically examine this process. In all cases,
papers should deal with at least one of the following issues:
individual and community mental and/or physical health; educational,
legal, or work environment processes, policies, and opportunities;
social welfare and social justice; studies of social problems;
evaluation of interventions; empowerment of marginal groups;
collective social action; or institutional and organizational
change.
Possible topics include projects where children are involved as
collaborators in one or more of the following:
* Determining the problem definition
* Assessing the problem
* Determining an intervention
* Implementing an intervention
* Assessing an intervention
Other possible topics include:
* Ethical issues surrounding PAR with children
* The role of the child in collaborative research given
cultural constructions of childhood
* Theoretical and practical lessons learned in conducting PAR
with children
* Political, social, and methodological implications of
conducting PAR with children
For all papers, children are defined as those who are of middle
school age or younger.
One page concept papers or abstracts are due August 6, 2007 and
should be sent to Regina Langhout at [log in to unmask] or Elizabeth
Thomas at [log in to unmask] Authors invited to write papers will be
notified by September 3, 2007. Papers will be due December 31, 2007,
must be in APA format, and will undergo the peer review process.

"The concern of the social scientist should not be so much to
explain the world as to transform it."
-Ignacio Martin Baro
"The assignment of pre-determined tasks for stakeholders is not
participation. Participation means deciding, acting, reflecting,
analyzing, interrupting, forming an opinion and being open to learn
(and teach) from anyone sharing knowledge. It is not a neat and
clean process." -Maritza Montero
