The International Advisory Board is pleased to announce the Call For Papers for the Eleventh International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences. The Social Sciences Conference will be held on 2-4 August 2016 at the Imperial College London, London, UK.
Special focus for 2016: ‘An Age and its Ends: Social Science in the Era of the Anthropocene’. From the first hunting of animals and burning of lands by hunters and gatherers, then the tilling of fields and planting of crops by farmers, to the rise of smokestack industries, and more recently to intensified social, political and economic globalizations, collective human action has left an undeniable mark on the natural environment. The more recent phases of this long history are now being defined as the ‘age of the Anthropocene’, or an age where a single species is determining the direction of the Earth’s natural history. A key purpose of defining the age is to understand a new stage in the interaction of the social and the natural, manifest today in human-induced changes to global temperatures, sea level, CO2 in the atmosphere, to name just a few consequential eco-systemic changes.
Broad themes:
- Social and Community Studies
