Reflections on Community Future Casting: Digital Storytelling to Inspire Urban Solutions by Catherine Girves, Lorrie McAllister, Dickie Selfe, & Amy Youngs

In 2011, the leadership team of Catherine Girves, Lorrie McAllister, Dickie Selfe, and Amy Youngs began a grant-supported community-media project, Community Future-Casting (CFC), meant to create change in the neighborhoods around The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. This introduction aims to give the reader an overview of the project, its theoretical framework, and reflections of project participants. The leadership team invites readers to visit the media-rich web page <http://go.osu.edu/cfc-reflections>, linked from the Reflections web site < http://reflectionsjournal.net/> where they have assembled text, audio, and video clips that tell the story of the project in more detail and give voice to this community work.
