structure to work collaboratively with other professionals and community
members to explore complex problems. It provides people with the means to take
systematic action to resolve specific problems, which distinguishes the
approach from other forms of social research. This workshop is designed to
concentrate on problem solving through inquiry into human problems in real
contexts. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
