The Community Psychology Education Connection Clearinghouse

The Community Psychology Education Connection Clearinghouse is a resource for instructors of courses in community psychology and related fields, whether teaching a course for the first time or revising your existing course. We maintain copies of course syllabi and other materials, as well as a reading list for instructors, for both undergraduate and graduate courses. We keep our materials current by asking instructors who receive our materials to submit their own materials once developed or revised, so that these can be made available to others.


The Radical Psychology Network

The Radical Psychology Network seeks like-minded psychologists and others to help create a society better able to meet human needs and bring about social justice. We want to change society's unacceptable status quo and bring about a better world.

And we want to change the status quo of psychology, too. We challenge psychology's traditional focus on minor reform, because enhancing human welfare demands fundamental social change instead. Moreover, psychology itself has too often oppressed people rather than liberated them.


The Society for Community Research and Action

http://www.apa.org/divisions/div27/

The Society for Community Research and Action (SCRA), Division 27 of the American Psychological Association, serves many different disciplines that focus on community research and action. Our members have found that, regardless of the professional work they do, the knowledge and professional relationships they gain in the SCRA have been invaluable and invigorating. Membership provides new ideas and strategies for research and action that benefit people and improve institutions and communities. The Society for Community Research and Action was founded on the idea that social systems and environmental influences are important foci for enhancing wellness via preventive research and interventions.
