The COR Working Papers Series is an online, peer reviewed publication of the Center for Organizational Reform. The intent of the Working Papers is to create an online/print library of reflections on issues of significance to the major elements of COR's mission:
  • personal transformation
  • the creation and nurturing of healthy organizations and groups
  • the furtherance of social justice
  • the importance of community as the central means to these ends (centering on the fostering of critical and reflective dialogue)

The COR Working Papers Series seeks to offer a broad perspective on these themes, which cross organizational and occupational fields. Some of the collection reflect issues specific to a particular setting; others are more generic in their focus. Permission to reproduce articles must be requested from the editor. Points of view and opinions are those of individual authors and are not necessarily those of COR.
