COP: Annual School of Social Sciences Colloquium

CALL FOR PAPERS
1st ANNUAL SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES COLLOQUIUM
ON
THEORY AND PRACTICE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES IN A CHANGING WORLD
APRIL 16-17, 2015
 
There is a reciprocal relationship between theory and practice of the Social Sciences. The challenge of time in the social sciences provides the basic fuel for change. Social scientists in a changing world are dynamic and ingenious in the struggle to produce relevant knowledge, build social institutions and engage in practices for the good of mankind. Changes in the epistemology of disciplines are not radical but subtle as they maintain the bedrock foundations while incorporating new ways of understanding and doing, which facilitates the progress of human society. The changing world requires an adaptable social science that reflects these changes over time and varies across cultures and space. Closing the gulf between theory and practice is important in contemporary social science in order to make current practices relevant to the development of society. What are the changes taking place in our disciplines via our own research, which contributes to the development of theory and practice?
 
This call is intended to explore and showcase the various methodological, theoretical and practical changes in our various disciplines as responses to broader change and the aspirations of society in achieving our common developmental goals. Read More... in the Call for Papers.
