Because good research needs good data

Social Sciences Conference, University of Granada, Spain, July 2007

Joy Davidson | 28 September 2006

The conference will examine the nature of disciplinary and interdisciplinary practices across the social sciences, as well as the relation of the social to the natural sciences, applied sciences and the professions. The focus of papers will range from the finely grained and empirical (research practices and results exemplifying one or more disciplines), to wide-ranging multi-disciplinary and transdisciplinary practices, to perspectives on knowledge and method.

I would particularly like to invite you to respond to the conference call for papers. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for consideration before or after the conference in the fully refereed International Journal of the Interdisciplinary Social Sciences. If you are unable to attend the conference in person, virtual registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper for refereeing and possible publication in the journal, and give you access to the electronic version of the journal.

The deadline for the next round in the call for papers (a title and short abstract) is 22 October 2006. Proposals are reviewed within four weeks of submission.

Full details of the conference, including an online call for papers form, are to be found at the conference website - http://www.SocialSciencesConference.com

We look forward to receiving your proposals and hope you will be able to join us in Granada in July 2007.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr José Luis Ortega Martín
Vice-Dean of International Relations
Faculty of Educational Sciences
