community

[Nancy McPhee]

Scott, you might find the work of Robin Dunbar interesting – he wrote
Grooming, Gossip and the evolution of Language. Also the article that Keith
Hanna wrote is about two communities in the Pacific Northwest. He had some
great references you could check out too!

Nancy,

You're right on track with my purpose.  I am working this summer on my
graduate thesis paper (Seattle U.).  The topic Community:  The theory and
practice of developing community.  So your reference list is excellent.
Most appreciated.

Hi Scott – I just finished my thesis on community conversation and used Open
Space as my research tool. I too had a hard time figuring out what community
was exactly and found lots of different meanings for the word depending on
your situation. I have skimmed my reference list and found some of the
sources that I used to define community. What ever definition you like, I
think that community is a vital, exciting, challenging, rewarding place that
we create for ourselves where ever we go! 

Be well, 

Nancy

I have read a lot of e-mails about "community."  Does anyone have a top 10
list of references around what community means?  What it is, how it happens,
why it matters?

Live life and live it large,
Scott
