This symposium aims to bring together researchers, practitioners and interested parties for a one day symposium on Social Capital. The Symposium will focus on past, present and future conceptual and practical issues concerning social capital. Has this concept lost its appeal? How does it relate to other concepts such as community capacity building? The symposium is also interested in presentations from those indigenous and community-based groups who have until now been unheard.
Abstracts are invited from ALL interested parties. We welcome papers addressing the following themes and also encourage submissions on related topics for both rural and urban settings:
Conceptual and practical issues concerning social capital
Communities
Health
Education
Welfare and Work
Environment, Water and Agricultural Extension
TASA delegates note: an easy two and a half hour drive from Wagga Wagga to Beechworth!
Submission of Abstracts:
Abstracts of up to 250 words to be submitted electronically BY 20 SEPTEMBER 2004 to either of the email addresses below. Authors will be able to contribute their papers to the final refereed publication.
