Swatos at swatos@microd.comNotes: Presidential address to Religious Research Association in Montreal, 1998. Published in journal, "Review of Religious Research" in June 1999. Dudley says that effective research must build in effective dissemination strategies into its design. Research that is not disseminated and used is useless. He identifies five ways of creating partnerships for dissemination: 1) partners from other social sciences. 2) partners from members of the client population who join the research team. 3) New audiences that the authors seek to reach in the study. 4) Partnerships that form when the researcher joins the client community to help them generate essential information. 5) Partnership groups that form in times of crisis.

Email: ark@abdn.ac.ukNotes: "This paper explores the relationship between the concepts of ‘self’ and ‘community’ in the context of work and family life in a North East of Scotland fishing village. The paper’s argument is developed in the context of an expanding body of research on the self, on forms of community and on the choices which individuals make in relation to work and family life. Most writers on the theme of work and family life have, in fact, either ignored, or downplayed, the links between the three, forgetting that work and family life are categories that are themselves constructed by individuals in local networks or communities."
