Communities Magazine — Summer 2012
Diversity
Current Issue in Print, Free Articles Published Online
Diversity—Issue #155 Our latest Communities issue on Diversity is proving to be one of our most popular issues. If you haven't seen it yet, get a copy by subscribing or ordering a sample now!
True to its theme, Communities' Summer 2012 "Diversity" issue is itself diverse. Several articles address challenges associated with cultivating racial diversity in community, but many stories explore other forms of diversity, from different physical abilities to alternative worldviews, religions, and forms of civic engagement. Authors also explore how groups welcome in new people and how they make decisions. “Busting the Myth that Consensus-with-Unanimity Is Good for Communities,” in particular, is guaranteed to provoke some reactions and conversations (and, in these pages, it already does, with responses from three consensus trainers). Please join us in celebrating differences!

Communities Magazine Since 1972, Communities has been the primary resource for information, issues, and ideas about intentional communities in North America - from urban co-ops to cohousing groups to ecovillages to rural communes. Communities now also focuses on creating and enhancing community in the workplace, in nonprofit or activist organizations, and in neighborhoods, with enhanced coverage of international communities as well. We explore the joys and challenges of cooperation in its many dimensions. Please subscribe today! If you're already a subscriber, tell your friends about us, or better yet give a gift subscription.
