It is intended to draw together international, cross-generational and cross-disciplinary
perspectives.

stimulate policy debate amongst a range of established and upcoming authors
encourage practitioners to engage more critically with their work
include contributions from a range of geographical contexts and academic disciplines
theorise issues and practices in a way that will encourage diverse audiences to rethink the potential of community development.
