> The Workshop is dedicated to expanding our knowledge of the nature of
> cohousing and its potential for wider applicability. Led by Diane Margolis
> and Rick Keller, the workshop provides a forum for scholars and writers to
> share existing and proposed studies, to identify additional research
> needs, to make connections with like-minded colleagues, and to brainstorm,
> explore, and engage future avenues of research and writing.  
> 
> There will be opportunities to present completed research, work in
> progress, and planned projects.  If you have any work that you would like
> to present, please send us the title and a brief description.
> 
> At last year's workshop we established the CRN. This year?s workshop will
> include a session on the progress of the network: our growing membership,
> our work to create an online bibliography, and our efforts to stimulate
> research and connect researchers with each other and with cohousing
> communities.
>          
> Please contact one of us if you have any questions.  Also, feel free to
> pass this along to any researchers or writers who might be interested.
