Call for papers: Proposals due by Nov. 15, 2012 - Relational and Social Network Perspectives in Community Psychology

A special issue of the American Journal of Community Psychology 
Guest editors: Jennifer Watling Neal & Brian D. Christens 

Relational and social network perspectives focus on patterns of relationships between sets of actors (e.g., people, organizations, communities). Community psychologists have long recognized the conceptual importance of relationships and the potential of social network analysis to enhance methodological sophistication in the field. Moreover, recent groundbreaking studies have thrust social network dynamics to the forefront of contemporary social science. The growing prominence of social network studies provides an opportunity not only for increasing methodological sophistication, but also for reconsiderations of theory.
