- 2nd International Sustainability Conference
-
Aug 21, 2008 - Aug 22, 2008,
University of Basel, Basel, Basel-Stadt, SwitzerlandWe scarcely need more evidence in support of the claim that sustainable development is one of the major challenges for human societies in the 21st century. Global warming, growing scarcity of non-renewable energy resources, loss of biodiversity, water supply shortages and the long-term degradation of ecosystems along with health and poverty problems are among the most important issues representing growing risks for human societies and their economies.
In view of such developments, sciences in the field of sustainability are expected – in addition to the traditional scientific tasks of understanding and explaining the situation in question – to contribute analytically to the process of moving societies towards sustainable development. - full details

- ISA Research Committee on History of Sociology Interim Conference
-
Aug 21, 2008 - Aug 24, 2008,
Umeå University Umeå SwedenAs national organisers of the conference, we regard this as an excellent opportunity to bring up to the research front a theme that is both congenial to the choice of place (in the northern part of Sweden) and of apparent relevance in today's increasingly globalised world, namely the important but still relatively unexplored potential of perspectives from the periphery in the history of sociology and the social sciences. By addressing issues related to different geographical, social, disciplinary and temporal peripheries, by inviting several of today’s most prominent scholars on these issues, by offering plenary sessions and parallell workshops, and by welcoming researchers from sociology as well as from other disciplines, the conference aims at encouraging a dynamic and truly interdisciplinary history that contributes to a richer and more complex understanding of the social sciences both in the past and in today's common world.
