Publications and resources

The Caravan Project produces a number of publications and resources based on our work in parks and during associated research. The table below lists some of these items.

In addition, we shall make publications available as they appear in books, journals and magazines. Three recent publications are reproduced below. The first two appeared in the journal Parity; the third appeared in the proceedings of the 2004 Education and Social Action Conference. Please note that the PDFs are OCR scans from the original hard-copy publications; hence, the on-screen resolution is not particularly good. We recommend printing the PDFs for best legibility. Citation details for each article appears below.
