Scientific Roots of These Methods: |

| This
section differs from the training material on this site. |
. |
The
purpose of this web site is to provide training in skills and methods to
community workers, so they may intervene as mobilisers or activists to
stimulate low income communities to become empowered. |
...
| If
you wish to pursue your own introductory study of sociology, on which the
Community Empowerment principles and methods are based, you are invited
to look at Sociology. |
. |
You
may also view the handouts that I have posted on open access. |
...
|
If you are seriously studying the
subject, you are invited to send questions to me.
|
.
| A
community is a sociological construct, and the science of sociology is
the source of the methods and skills of the community work here. |

You
may find some use in these notes, and can use them to supplement your reading
and lectures, especially where the topics sound complicated and mysterious. |
...
|
Serious students are encouraged to
research these topics, and not rely only on these notes.
