The Crooked Timbers Project is a group of communication educators, researchers and practitioners committed to fostering a “social constructionist” understanding of communication as the primary process for creating and sustaining better social worlds.

Not content to simply train others to develop the kinds of communication skills that enable them to “fit in” or reproduce current societal structures, members of the Crooked Timbers Project envision success as the ability to imagine, invent, and co-construct new social practices in response to cultural environments characterized by globalization, diversity, and complexity.

Emphasizing practical responses to difficult problems, the Crooked Timbers group invites others to join us in an ongoing set of projects designed to respond to three simple questions:
- “What kinds of social worlds are we making when we communicate in this or that particular way?” and …..
- “Do we like what we have created?”
- "If not, how can we make better social worlds?"
