CFP Int’l Conf Interdisc Social Sciences

International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences
University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada
11-13 June 2014

The Social Sciences Conference is an international, interdisciplinary forum for encouraging discussion of the approaches to knowledge creation within and across the various social sciences. We were lucky to host delegates from over 45 countries at our most recent conference, each with a unique perspective on the social, natural, and applied sciences.

Proposals for paper presentations, workshops, or colloquia are invited, and we welcome proposals from a variety of disciplines and perspectives that will contribute to the conference discourse. We also encourage faculty and research students to submit joint proposals for paper presentations or colloquia. Proposals are invited that address social sciences issues through one of the following categories:
* Social and Community Studies
* Environmental Studies
* Civic and Political Studies
* Organizational Studies
* Cultural Studies
* Educational Studies
* Global Studies
* Communications

Those unable to attend the conference in person may still join the community and submit an article for peer review and possible publication, upload an online presentation, and enjoy subscriber access to The Social Sciences Collection of journals.

Proposals are reviewed in rounds adhering to monthly rolling deadlines. For more information on themes, proposal submission, registration, and our prestigious Graduate Scholar Awards, please visit the website.
