Call for Papers

Research for Action: Networking University and Community for Social 
Responsibility
Special issue of the Journal of Community Informatics

Theme

Following on from the successful workshop held in conjunction with 
Making Links 2010, this special issue of the Journal of Community 
Informatics will bring together contributions from a diverse range of

information and communication technologies, social media, augmented

in pursuit of social responsibility. The aim is to connect people with 
ideas, ideas with research projects, and harness new media to further 
inquiry into socially just outcomes in our communities.
