Omschrijving

This book explores the process of transforming emergency preparedness education through community media in rural North India and applies it globally. A new theoretical framework is presented, combining the Integral Worlds Approach with Critical Theory, thus exploring a new way to implement social change, leading to social transformation.



"Dr. Jean Parker, through participatory research and her own personal experience, develops a compelling case for the new evolving community development paradigm of Constructive Resilience emanating from the Baha’i Faith and provides real examples of its applications that will serve as a blueprint for community development worldwide." — Nabil Elias, PhD, Faculty Emeritus, Belk College of Business, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA

"Environmental degradation and extreme weather disproportionally impact vulnerable communities. Dr. Parker’s research in India shows us how relying on a community’s wisdom and skills, and using an egalitarian consultative process, builds community cohesion and facilitates emergency preparedness that mitigates the impacts of disasters. Popular education delivered by community radio are crucial tools. This approach also advances community development and has global applicability." — K. Scott Wood, Professor (Retired), School for Resource and Environmental Studies, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada

"Integral development is a cornerstone of effective community projects. The successful implementation of Jean’s newly created Intecritical framework, with the community of Uttarakhand, lends credence to this. The power of the process lies in its respectful co-creation with the community which led to conscious-raising and a level of empowerment that enabled the joint crafting of local solutions which ensured long-term sustainable impacts for the community." — Dr Loshnee Naidoo, (PhD) (Integral Development), Multi-award winning Development Specialist



Jean Parker, Ph.D., is Senior Research Fellow at Trans4m Center for Integral Development and teaches economic justice and nonprofit management at Regis University and Wilmette Institute, USA. Her previous publications include Learning, Discovering, and Moving Forward: An Integral Approach to Creating "Safer Communities" through Community Radio in India's Villages (2016).
