C-Change Working Paper Series: List of Existing and Proposed Papers

The C-Change Working Paper Series consists of project documents, presentations, and deliverables in progress by members of the C-Change team in Canada and the Caribbean. These papers showcase the work of C-Change students and research associates as well as that of the C-Change Co-applicants, collaborators, and partners.

The table below presents the list of numbered C-Change Working Papers along with their titles and authors (tentative in the case of work-in-progress), regions, communities, topic(s), and status to date (as of November 2013). It is noted that draft working papers in progress may change in title and authorship as the drafting process continues.
