Scholarly
Activities:
- During
my sabbatical in 1996-1997, I co-directed, with Kent McClelland,
an ethnographic study of a local
human-services agency, Mid-Iowa Community Action (MICA). This
study is funded under an "Early Head Start" Health
and Human Services grant for 1995-1997. We are interested in
MICA's success in transforming itself into a "learning
organization" despite the difficult environment for non-profit
social service agencies.
