En Memoriam: Bold Community Development Visionary, Scholar, Activist, Educator, Mentor, Colleague and Friend

Ted K. Bradshaw, Ph.D.
Editor: Community Development: Journal of the Community Development Society
October 28, 1942 – August 5, 2006

The hyphen between Ted Bradshaw’s birth and death is filled with an incredible richness and legacy that is difficult to grasp.   Ted Bradshaw was born in Ely, Nevada and died unexpectedly while running  on a trail when he collapsed and died near his home in Oakland, California.  He is survived by his spouse, Betty Lou, and sons, Niels and Liam, his father, two brothers, a sister, and other family members. 

Ted Bradshaw was a community development scholar, practitioner and educator.   His professional accomplishments are sterling: a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of California at Berkeley in 1974; Fulbright Research Scholar in Sweden; an author of four books and over 70 scholarly articles and reports on community and economic development, rural and regional development, alternative technology, the organization of the electrical system, and  California’s development as a high technology  society.  He was chair and professor in the Department of Human and Community Development, University of California-Davis.

Bradshaw's Legacy to Continue through Journal

Recipients of Community Development: The Journal of the Community Development Society, can rest assured that Ted Bradshaw's commitment to the Journal will continue after his untimely passing. Because of the hard work of Ted Bradshaw, the editorial board, and the institutions that support them, the journal is ranked in the top 100 in the field. CDS intends to maintain the journal as one of the leading publications in the field of community development. Associate editors Ronald Hustedde of the University of Kentucky (rhusted@uky.edu) and Norman Walzer of Western Illinois University (n-walzer@wiu.edu) will assume the responsibility of interim editors for the Journal with assistance and short-term support from the University of California-Davis. Undoubtedly, the CDS board, members, and readers of the Journal are extremely grateful for their willingness to direct the journal during the transitional period. Manuscripts should be sent to Marilu Carter at JCDS@ucdavis.edu.

The CDS Communications Committee is defining the long-term solutions necessary to sustain the journal, which will include in the near future soliciting proposals from prospecitve editors. For inquiries or further information, please contact the Communications Committee co-chairs:
