George Caspar Homans (1910-1989) is widely regarded as the father of social
exchange theory. He also made
significant contributions to small-group research.
In this piece A. Javier
Treviño explores his lasting
contribution.

Saul Alinsky's work is an
important reference point for thinking about community organizing and
community development. His books Reveille for Radicals (1946)
and Rules for Radicals (1971) were both classic explorations
of organizing and remain popular today. Mike Seal examines Alinsky's
continuing relevance to the activities of informal educators,
community organizers and animateurs.
