dc.description.abstractSenge’s (1990) concept of the learning organization is used to provide insights into understanding how learning can occur with grassroots organizations – organizations that emerge from the ground up. This paper draws upon three qualitative research studies to examine how Sisters in Crime (SinC) can be viewed as an example of a learning organization, dedicated to supporting women crime fiction writers and addressing issues of gender inequality. SinC provides an interesting example of a grassroots organization that has evolved to serve the needs of many of its broader membership, while attending to issues of gender and equity. When the central focus on learning is related to social justice issues, members of the organization are more likely to have a strong commitment to the same vision, leading to collaborative and creative forms of learning.en_US
