Each year since the creation of the Center for Social Well Being field methods course, the program organizes annual conference sessions and round table discussions with international social science associations to provide forums for the presentation of research and analytical results of students and professionals involved with Participatory Action Research (PAR) theory and methods. We encourage our outstanding field school participants to take advantage of this opportunity for critical reflection, analysis and formal presentation of significant conclusions, thus bringing the field experience full circle.
