Kurzbeschreibung

Bringing a different world into existence

The Collaborative Action Research Network (CARN) was founded in 1976. Since that time it has grown to become an international network drawing its members from educational, health, social care, commercial, and public services settings. CARN aims to encourage and support action research projects (personal, local, national and international), accessible accounts of action research projects, and contributions to the theory and methodology of action research. In line with the tradition, we would like to invite academics and practitioners by welcoming a diverse range of contributions, no matter what stage the research is at (from initial ideas through to completed reports and papers). There will also be opportunities to consider methodological issues.
