Important notice: Please be informed that the conference dates have been put forward to 30 January through 1 February 2016 due to an overwhelming number of requests from participants from Turkey. Due to the sensitive political situation in Turkey no one, including us, was willing to leave the country until after the election day which was announced as November 1st 2015. We deeply apologize for the change of the date and hope that this will give those who could not participate on the previous date an opportunity to join us.
International Social Science and Humanities Conference (ISSHC) aims to gather scholars across various disciplines. Organized by the Concerned Academics Group, ISSHC brings together academics, researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners to share findings, refine ideas, and build partnerships that will help shape our future.
ISSHC is home for scholarly participants to exchange ideas and get scientific support for their own research studies in an interdisciplinary platform. ISSHC programming is open to attendees, academics and non-academic audiences. From literature studies and education to history, sociology and communications, conference represents a remarkable showcase of scholarly excellence, creativity, and activism.
Concerned Academics Group is proud to accept proposals for International Social Science and Humanities Conference (ISSHC 2016). The theme of ISSHC 2016 that will be held in Dubai on 30 January - 1 February 2016 is “Scars of Neoliberal Policies”. Our definition of neoliberalism helps to tie together various public and private areas by showing how market and democratic imperatives are in conflict there, and how laws, politics and cultural understandings are mediating those conflicts as a result of neoliberal policies.
Neoliberal policies that are applied in all over the world having increasing effect not only on economic conditions but on social, political, cultural lifes as well. The conflict between the market imperatives and countervailing democratic demands for values such as security, dignity, fairness, and solidarity creates wounded individuals of various gender, ethnic, political and social groups. The scars of Neoliberal Policies’ conflicts can be observed on exhausted, stressed and neglected individuals increasingly. A multi disciplinary platform is aimed to be provided by ISSHC 2016 to discuss the different ways of experiences of such groups and individuals in their suffering, resiliency, and resistance. ISSHC 2016 hopes to pave a way to develop our scope to have more comprehensive aproach to the matter that will help to open a gate for resistance and renewal by the gathering of the scholars from different fields of social sciences.
ISSHC 2016 welcomes (20 min) presentations reflecting the impact and outcome of neoliberal policies on the issues such as:
