Description

Welcome to the micro-site for the Twentieth International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences

Founded in 2006, the Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Research Network is brought together by a common interest in disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches, within and across the various social sciences, and between the social, natural, and applied sciences. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.

The Twentieth International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus:

• 2025 Special Focus—Minds and Machines: Artificial Intelligence, Algorithms, Ethics, and Order in Global Society
• Theme 1: Social and Community Studies  

• Theme 2: Civic and Political Studies

• Theme 3: Cultural Studies 

• Theme 4: Global Studies

• Theme 5: Environmental Studies 

• Theme 6: Organizational Studies

• Theme 7: Educational Studies

• Theme 8: Communication

We are interested in the following lines of investigation:   

• On disciplinary and interdisciplinary practices in the study of the social.

• On the processes of governance and nature of citizenship.

• On disciplinary and interdisciplinary practices in the study of human cultures and cultural interactions.

• On the dynamics of globalization and the transformation of the local.

• On learning about the social and social learning.

• On the social dynamics of public, community, and privately-owned organizations.

• On the representation and communication of human meanings.
