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.
