12th Biennial Australian and New Zealand Third Sector Research Conference - call for papers

As it recovers from one of the most destructive earthquakes to hit this part of the world, Otautahi/Christchurch and its community organisations have certainly learned a lot about change and resilience.  Hence:

Conference: 'Resilience, Change and the Third Sector', 18-20 November 2014, Otautahi / Christchurch, Aotearoa, New Zealand.

But it is not just natural disasters that both threaten and present opportunities for the 'Third Sector' today.  The changing policy environment, increasingly complex regulatory demands, shifting funding opportunities, diverse stakeholder expectations, new technologies, emerging population and social trends, can all buffet the sector around.  And how can the sector maintain its integrity and be a force for change in society?

For the first time ever in Christchurch, and only in NZ three times previously, this is the premier Australasian conference for bringing together researchers, academics, practitioners, activists, and policymakers with a shared interest in non-profit organisations, communities, Tangata Whenua / Indigenous organisations, volunteering and philanthropy. We aim to help participants make the most of the evidence available and connect the dots.
