ACSS 2010 was a celebration of interdisciplinary study in the

social sciences and the inaugural event was a great success. In

2011 we hope to build on the conversations and partnerships

started in 2010, and to again encourage academics and scholars

to meet and exchange ideas and views in a forum encouraging

respectful dialogue. Under the continued guidance of Dean June

Henton, Conference Chair in 2010, and Programme Adviser in

2011, this international conference will again provide a

challenging, rigorous and enlightening academic environment.

This year's conference will again include a variety of presenters

representing a wide range of social science disciplines. The

speakers will be expressing divergent views, searching for

common ground, and creating the synergies that can inspire

multi-disciplinary collaborations. In developing these

relationships among ourselves, the role of the social sciences is

strengthened as we take our place at the table, along with

scholars in the STEM disciplines (i.e. science, technology,

engineering, and mathematics), in seeking solutions to the

complex issues and problems of the 21st century. I sincerely

hope that we will use this time together, not just for intellectual

discovery and discourse, but to establish a common vision and to

motivate each other to do our part in the creation of a better

world. We greatly appreciate your attendance and encourage your

active engagement throughout the conference.
