Working papers are those that we are in the process of creating and editing through a collaborative process that you can follow at this location. Completed papers are also on the site, but they are available through the Papers Available on the Site link.

What you will see taking place in this section is our exchange of and addition of theoretical perspectives to explain the phenomena we are working with. As we continue to read and write, we discover the relationship of other narratives, either on the site or elsewhere, we discover different theoretical approaches to the problem on which we are focussed, sometimes we even find reason to shift our focus. This is the reflexive process as we understand it. We never stop asking whether the theoretical approach guiding us has limited our perception of some aspect of the problem. We never stop asking for and listening to narrative that might make us aware of limitations in perspective. And the process goes on, until the paper has been launched into the academic world. Then it takes up with the next paper, which carries on the thread of the discussion.

This means that this section of Dear Habermas affords you a means of contributing narrative or theoretical perspectives to which we will listen in good faith. And this is a thriving example of a "process" text.
