Sustainable Social Change' (CSSC) is now available for viewing online.

where you could also participate in the blog.

We also wish to remind you that the next CSSC Seminar is scheduled for
Thursday, October 8, at 4pm in Campus Center 905.
Professor Timothy Kennedy of the University of Tampa will speak on
"Where the Rivers Meet the Sky: A Collaborative Approach to
Participatory Development".
Kennedy, a pioneering expert in the field of development communication,
the concept of using modern communication technology to assist emerging
peoples in governance, will discuss the different roles a change agent
or community organizer can play based on his past experiences and life
story. Kennedy most recently published "Where the Rivers Meet the Sky: A
Collaborative Approach to Participatory Development" (Southbound, 2009),
and is the author of the 2006 book, "Midnight Son: A Tribute to John Lee
Hooker" (University of Tampa Press).

"Where the River Meets the Sky" details Kennedy's work as a VISTA
volunteer in the arctic village of Noorvik in the mid-1960s. Ultimately,
Kennedy spent 11 years in Alaska developing communication between remote
Eskimo villages and the government using videography. The Sky River
Project, as the program was known, was very successful and has been
adapted around the world in countries like India and South Africa.
