Okay, here's one for all you lurking graduate students, writers, professors, consultants and others with an academic bent. The following call for papers crossed my desk today in hard copy and I'm passing on the text which I got from one of the conference organizers. She didn't know what cohousing was, but she sounded intrigued and was interested in having "alternative models" represented at the conference. My sense is this is going to be a reputable event, and since it's not associated with a major scholarly association it may be reasonably easy to get into. This conference just cries out for some representation of the cohousing movement!
