The Asian Conference on the Social Sciences
18 to 21 June 2010
Osaka, Japan

ACSS 2010 Theme: East Meets West in Pursuit of a
Sustainable World

For more than a decade, sustainability has emerged
as a global issue for business and industry,
government, and academia. Historically,
sustainability has been associated with
environmental concerns such as the energy crisis
and global warming. Today, however, it is
recognized that social/economic justice is equally
important to achieving a sustainable future.
Thus, issues such as poverty, hunger, education,
health care, and access to markets should be a
part of the evolution of any comprehensive
sustainability paradigm. This conference will
address these various dimensions of human
sustainability. The organizers encourage
submissions that approach this topic from a
variety of perspectives.

The submission of other topics for consideration
is also welcome within and across a variety of
academic disciplines:

* Sociology and Geography
* Anthropology, Archaeology, Cultural Studies
and Humanities
* Psychology, Cognitive Science and the
Behavioural Sciences
* Economics and Management
* Media and Communications
* Politics, Public Policy and Law
* Education and Social Welfare
* Natural, Environmental and Health Sciences
* Technology and Applied Sciences
* Research Methodologies, Quantitative and
Qualitative Methods
* Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Gender
* Other

Abstracts should be 250-500 words in length and
will be reviewed by a voluntary team of peer
reviewers. Authors are limited to one abstract
submission, whether as lead or secondary author.

Conference Chair: Professor June Henton, Dean of
the College of Human Sciences, Auburn University, USA.

The deadline for abstracts/proposals is 15 January
2010.
