Dear Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Delegates,
Welcome to London and to the Eleventh International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences. The
Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Knowledge Community—its conference, journal collection, and book imprint—was
created to explore notions of disciplinarily and interdisciplinary in the human sciences. It represents a marvelous
collage of specific instances of the study of social life worthy of the label ‘science’ as well as presentations which
think in more general terms about the problem of method and the nature of interdisciplinary.
Founded in 2006, the Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Knowledge Community is brought together by a common
interest in disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches, within and across the various social sciences, and between
the social, natural, and applied sciences. The Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Conference was held in 2006 at the
University of the Aegean, Rhodes, Greece; in 2007 at the University of Granada, Granada, Spain; in 2008 at Monash
University Centre, Prato, Italy; in 2009 at the University of Athens, Athens, Greece; in 2010 at the University of
Cambridge, Cambridge, UK; in 2011 at the University of New Orleans, New Orleans, USA; in 2012 at the Universidad
Abat Oliba, Barcelona, Spain; in 2013 at Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic; in 2014 at the University of
British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada; and in 2015 at the University of Split, Split, Croatia. We will hold the 2017
Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Conference in Hiroshima, Japan at the Hiroshima International Conference Center.
Conferences can be ephemeral spaces. We talk, learn, get inspired, but these conversations fade with time. This
Knowledge Community supports a range of publishing modes in order to capture these conversations and formalize
them as knowledge artifacts. We encourage you to submit your research to the Interdisciplinary Social Sciences
Journal Collection. We also encourage you to submit a book proposal to the Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Book
Imprint.
In partnership with our Editors and Community Partners the Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Knowledge
Community is curated by Common Ground Publishing. Founded in 1984, Common Ground Publishing is
committed to building new kinds of knowledge communities, innovative in their media and forward thinking in
their messages. Common Ground Publishing takes some of the pivotal challenges of our time and builds knowledge
communities which cut horizontally across legacy knowledge structures. Sustainability, diversity, learning, the
future of humanities, the nature of interdisciplinarity, the place of the arts in society, technology’s connections with
knowledge, the changing role of the university—these are deeply important questions of our time which require
interdisciplinary thinking, global conversations, and cross-institutional intellectual collaborations. Common Ground
is a meeting place for people, ideas, and dialogue. However, the strength of ideas does not come from finding
common denominators. Rather, the power and resilience of these ideas is that they are presented and tested in a
shared space where differences can meet and safely connect—differences of perspective, experience, knowledge
base, methodology, geographical or cultural origins, and institutional affiliation. These are the kinds of vigorous and
sympathetic academic milieus in which the most productive deliberations about the future can be held. We strive to
create places of intellectual interaction and imagination that our future deserves.
I’d like to thank my Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Knowledge Community colleagues, Rachael Arcario,
Dominique Moore, Joseph Miebach, Doriam Reyes, Meg Welter, and Jessica Wienhold-Brokish, who have put such
a significant amount of work into this conference.
We wish you all the best for this conference, and we hope it will provide you every opportunity for dialogue with
colleagues from around the corner and around the globe.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Homer (Tony) Stavely
Host, Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Conference
Common Ground Publishing
| About Common Ground
Our Mission
Common Ground Publishing aims to enable all people to participate in creating collaborative knowledge and to
share that knowledge with the greater world. Through our academic conferences, peer-reviewed journals and books,
and innovative software, we build transformative knowledge communities and provide platforms for meaningful
interactions across diverse media.
Our Message
Heritage knowledge systems are characterized by vertical separations—of discipline, professional association,
institution, and country. Common Ground identifies some of the pivotal ideas and challenges of our time and
builds knowledge communities that cut horizontally across legacy knowledge structures. Sustainability, diversity,
learning, the future of the humanities, the nature of interdisciplinarity, the place of the arts in society, technology’s
connections with knowledge, the changing role of the university—these are deeply important questions of our time
which require interdisciplinary thinking, global conversations, and cross-institutional intellectual collaborations.
Common Ground is a meeting place for these conversations, shared spaces in which differences can meet and safely
connect—differences of perspective, experience, knowledge base, methodology, geographical or cultural origins,
and institutional affiliation. We strive to create the places of intellectual interaction and imagination that our future
deserves.
Our Media
Common Ground creates and supports knowledge communities through a number of mechanisms and media.
Annual conferences are held around the world to connect the global (the international delegates) with the local
(academics, practitioners, and community leaders from the host community). Conference sessions include as
many ways of speaking as possible to encourage each and every participant to engage, interact, and contribute.
The journals and book series offer fully-refereed academic outlets for formalized knowledge, developed through
innovative approaches to the processes of submission, peer review, and production. The knowledge community
also maintains an online presence—through presentations on our YouTube channel, monthly email newsletters, as
well as Facebook and Twitter feeds. And Common Ground’s own software, Scholar, offers a path-breaking platform
for online discussions and networking, as well as for creating, reviewing, and disseminating text and multi-media
works.
| About Common Ground Español
Common Ground Español
Since its inception, Common Ground Publishing has been committed to building bridges between different
languages and cultures, crossing the geographical and linguistic boundaries that slow down the free flow of ideas
between the countless communities that populate the planet. We are truly committed to diversity, and that is why we
are striving to create synergies between the English, Spanish, and Portuguese-speaking knowledge communities that
meet every year at the conference and that interact through the scholarly journals, the book imprint, and the social
networks.
To fulfill this ideal, Common Ground Publishing has launched Common Ground Publishing Español in order
to create and develop Latin American knowledge communities based on the Spanish and Portuguese languages
and cultures, crossing geographic, linguistic, and cultural borders. Each of these knowledge communities holds
an annual academic conference (which takes place in parallel to Common Ground’s conferences in English) and
manages a peer reviewed scholarly journal, a book series, and a number of social networks that allow scholars and
practitioners to interact with other peers coming from different geographical, institutional, and cultural origins, as
well as to strengthen interdisciplinary discussions.
For the time being, Common Ground Publishing Español has developed ten Latin American knowledge
communities; The Learner; E-Learning & Innovative Pedagogies; Science in Society; Interdisciplinary Social
Sciences; Ogranization Studies; New Directions in the Humanities; The Image; Books, Publishing & Libraries;
Health, Wellness, & Society; and Technology, Knowledge & Society.

Social Sciences
Knowledge Community
Exploring disciplinary and
interdisciplinary approaches within
and across the various social sciences
and between the social and the
natural and applied sciences
Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Knowledge Community
The Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Knowledge Community is a forum for discussion of disciplinary and
interdisciplinary approaches to knowledge creation within and across the various social sciences and between the
social and the natural and applied sciences. The community interacts through an innovative, annual face-to-face
conference, as well as year-round online relationships, a family of peer reviewed journals, and book imprint–
exploring the affordances of new digital media. Members of this knowledge community include academics, teachers,
administrators, policy makers, and other education practitioners.
Conference
The conference is built upon four key features: Internationalism, Interdisciplinarity, Inclusiveness, and Interaction.
Conference delegates include leaders in the field as well as emerging scholars, who travel to the conference from all
corners of the globe and represent a broad range of disciplines and perspectives. A variety of presentation options
and session types offer delegates multiple opportunities to engage, to discuss key issues in the field, and to build
relationships with scholars from other cultures and disciplines.
Publishing
The Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Journal Collection enables members to publish through two media. First,
community members can enter a world of journal publication unlike the traditional academic publishing forums—a
result of the responsive, non-hierarchical, and constructive nature of the peer review process. The Interdisciplinary
Social Sciences Journal Collection provides a framework for double-blind peer review, enabling authors to publish
into an academic journal of the highest standard. The second publication medium is through the book imprint,
Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, publishing cutting edge books in print and electronic formats. Publication proposal
and manuscript submissions are welcome.
Community
The Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Knowledge Community offers several opportunities for ongoing
communication among its members. Any member may upload video presentations based on scholarly work to the
community YouTube channel. Monthly email newsletters contain updates on conference and publishing activities as
well as broader news of interest. Members also join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter, or on our new social
media platform, Scholar.

Interdisciplinary Social Sciences 2016 Special Focus
An Age and Its Ends: Social Science in the Era of the Anthropocene
From the first hunting of animals and burning of lands by hunters and gatherers, then the tilling of fields and
planting of crops by farmers, to the rise of smokestack industries, and more recently to intensified social, political,
and economic globalizations, collective human action has left an undeniable mark on the natural environment. The
more recent phases of this long history are now being defined as the ‘age of the Anthropocene’, or an age where
a single species is determining the direction of the Earth’s natural history. A key purpose of defining the age is to
understand a new stage in the interaction of the social and the natural, manifest today in human-induced changes to
global temperatures, sea level, CO2 in the atmosphere, to name just a few consequential eco-systemic changes.
There is a certain kind of teleological quality to this argument. We are ‘in’ the age of the Anthropocene but we are
at the same time concerned about its ‘ends’, in the sense of human purposes and effects. In the most apocalyptic
versions of this argument, human damage to the Earth that may undermine the very conditions of human and
other life on Earth. ‘Ends’ are projected through augments supported by evidence of the intensifying impacts
of human activity and social systems on the Earth. How can interdisciplinary approaches in the social sciences
help us to explore these ‘ends’ of our age in terms of their environmental and human consequences? This year’s
Special Focus for the Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Conference—An Age and Its Ends: Social Science in the
Era of the Anthropocene—is necessarily open-ended because of the contingent nature of human ‘ends’. Whether
or not we accept the velocity of global environmental change, human impacts on the environment demand a
reappraisal of the disciplinary moorings of the social sciences. Looking forward into the future, how can we navigate
alternative sustainable social pathways, sensitive to the natural environment? What social, economic, political,
educational, as well as natural scientific perspectives and methods need to be brought to the table in this essentially
interdisciplinary endeavor?
Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Scope and Concerns
The Disciplinary Work of the Social Sciences
Each of the sciences of the social is marked by its distinctive disciplinary modes­­­—the thinking practices of
Anthropology, Archaeology, Behavioral Sciences, Cognitive Science, Communications, Cultural Studies,
Demography, Economics, Education, Geography, Humanities, Law, Management, Media, Politics, Policy Studies,
Psychology, Social Welfare, Sociology, to name some of the principal sciences of the social. The disciplinary
variation is so broad that practitioners in some of these areas may not even consider their discipline a ‘science’,
whilst in other disciplines there is a general consensus about the scientific character of their endeavor.
What is a discipline? Disciplines represent fields of deep and detailed content knowledge, communities of
professional practice, forms of discourse (of fine and precise semantic distinction and technicality), areas of work
(types of organization or divisions within organizations such as academic departments or research organizations),
domains of publication and public communication, sites of common learning, shared experiences of apprenticeship
into disciplinary community, methods of reading and analyzing the world, ways of thinking or epistemic frames,
even ways of acting and types of person. ‘Discipline’ delineates the boundaries of intellectual community, the
distinctive practices and methodologies of particular areas of rigorous and concentrated intellectual effort, and the
varying frames of reference used to interpret the world.
And what is a science? Some of the studies of the social habitually and comfortably call themselves ‘sciences’, but
others do not. The English word ‘science’ derives from the Latin ‘sciens’, or knowing. Return to the expansiveness of
this root, and studies of the human could lay equally legitimate claim to that word.
‘Science’ in this broadest of senses implies an intensity of focus and a concentration of intellectual energies greater
than that of ordinary, everyday, commonsense or lay ‘knowing’. It is more work and harder work. It relies on the
ritualistic rigors and accumulated wisdoms of disciplinary practices.
These are some of the out-of-the-ordinary knowledge processes that might justify use of the word ‘science’, not only
in the social sciences but also in the natural, physical, mathematical, and applied sciences:
Science has an experiential basis. This experience may be based on direct personal intuition of the already-known,
on interests integral to the lifeworld, on the richness of life fully lived. Or it might be experience gained when we
move into new and potentially strange terrains, deploying the empirical processes of methodical observation or
systematic experimentation.
Science is conceptual. It has a categorical frame of reference based on higher levels of semantic precision and
regularity than everyday discourse. On this foundation, it connects concept to concept into schemas. This is how
science builds theories which model the world.
Science is analytical. It develops frames of reasoning and explanation: logic, inference, prediction, hypothesis,
induction, deduction. And it sees the world through an always cautiously critical eye, interrogating the interests,
motives and ethics that may motivate knowledge claims and subjecting epistemic assumptions to an ever-vigilant
process of metacognitive reflection.
Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Scope and Concerns
Science is application-oriented. It can be used to do things in the world. In these endeavors, it may be pragmatic,
designing and implementing practical solutions within larger frames of reference and achieving technical and
instrumental outcomes. Or it may be transformative—redesigning paradigms, social being, and even the conditions
of the natural world. What, after all, is the purpose of knowing other than to have an effect on the world, directly or
indirectly?
Science can be any or all of these experiential, conceptual, analytical, and applied things. Some disciplines may
prioritize one or other of these knowledge processes, and this may be the source of their strength as well as potential
weakness. In any event, these are the kinds of things we do in order to know in the out-of-the-ordinary ways worthy
of the name ‘science’.
The Interdisciplinary Work of the Social and Other Sciences
Interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, or multidisciplinary work crosses disciplinary boundaries. This may be for
pragmatic reasons, in order to see and do things that can’t be seen or done adequately within the substantive and
methodological confines of a discipline. Broader views may prove to be more powerful than narrower ones, and even
the more finely grained within-discipline views may prove all-the-more powerful when contextualized broadly. The
deeper perspectives of the discipline may need to be balanced with and measured against the broader perspectives of
interdisciplinarity.
Interdisciplinary approaches may also be applied for reasons of principle, to disrupt the habitual narrowness or
outlook of within-discipline knowledge work, to challenge the ingrained, discipline-bound ways of thinking that
produce occlusion as well as insight. If the knowable universe is a unity, discipline is a loss as well as a gain, and
interdisciplinarity may in part recover that loss.
Interdisciplinary approaches also thrive at the interface of disciplinary and lay understandings. Here,
interdisciplinarity is needed for the practical application of disciplined understandings to the actually existing world.
Robust applied knowledge demands an interdisciplinary holism. A broad epistemological engagement is required
simply to be able to deal with the complex contingencies of a really-integrated universe.
Ways of Seeing, Ways of Thinking, and Ways of Knowing
What are the distinctive modes of the social, natural, and applied sciences? What are their similarities and
differences?
In English (but not some other languages), ‘science’ suffers a peculiar semantic narrowing. It seems to apply more
comfortably to the natural world, and only by analogy to some of the more systematic and empirically-based of the
human sciences. It connotes a sometimes narrow kind of systematicity: the canons of empirical method; an often
less-than reflective acceptance of received theoretical categories and paradigms; formal reasoning disengaged from
human and natural consequences; technical control without adequate ethical reflection; an elision of means and
ends; narrow functionalism, instrumentalism, and techno-rationalism; a pragmatism to the neglect broader view
of consequences; and conservative risk aversion. These are some of the occupational hazards of activities that name
themselves sciences—social, natural, or applied. In studying the social setting, however, it’s not good enough just
to have a rigorous empirical methodology without a critical eye to alternative interests and paradigmatic frames of
reference, and without a view to the human-transformational potentials of knowledge work.
Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Scope and Concerns
Humanistic methodologies sometimes address the social in a deliberate counterpoint to science, distancing
themselves from the perceived narrownesses of scientific method. This move, however, may at times leave science
stranded, separated from its social origins and ends. The natural and technological sciences are themselves more
subject to contestation around axes of human interest than the narrow understanding of science seems to be able
to comprehend. Whether it be bioethics, or climate change, or the debates around Darwinism and Intelligent
Design, or the semantics of computer systems, questions of politics and ideology are bound closely to the ostensible
evidence. Faux empiricism is less than adequate to address the more important questions, even in the natural and
technological sciences. Science can be found lacking when it is disengaged from the humanistic.
The humanistic, however, has its own occupational hazards: disengaged critique and supercilious inaction without
design responsibility; political confrontation without systematic empirical foundation; ideological fractiousness
without apparent need for compromise; the agnostic relativism of lived experience and identity-driven voice;
voluntarism that leads to a naive lack of pragmatism and failure in application.
A reconstructive view of the social, natural, and applied sciences would be holistic, attempting always to avoid the
occlusions of narrow methodological approaches. It would also be ambitious, intellectually and practically.
In this context, the Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Knowledge Community pursues two aspirations, two openings.
The first is an intellectual opening, founded on an agenda designed to strengthen the theories, the research
methodologies, the epistemologies, and the practices of teaching and learning about the social world and the
relation of the social to the natural world.
The second opening is pragmatic and inventive. All intellectual work is an act of imagination. At its best, it is
ambitious, risky, and transformative. If the natural sciences can have human ambitions as big as those of the
medical sciences—the fight against MS or cancer or Alzheimer’s, for instance—then the social sciences can have
ambitions as large as to settle the relation of humans to the natural environment, the material conditions of human
equality, and the character of the future person.

A Digital Learning Platform
Use Scholar to Support Your Teaching
Scholar is a social knowledge platform that transforms the patterns of interaction in learning by putting students
first, positioning them as knowledge producers instead of passive knowledge consumers. Scholar provides
scaffolding to encourage making and sharing knowledge drawing from multiple sources rather than memorizing
knowledge that has been presented to them.
Scholar also answers one of the most fundamental questions students and instructors have of their performance,
“How am I doing?” Typical modes of assessment often answer this question either too late to matter or in a way that
is not clear or comprehensive enough to meaningfully contribute to better performance.
A collaborative research and development project between Common Ground and the College of Education at the
University of Illinois, Scholar contains a knowledge community space, a multimedia web writing space, a formative
assessment environment that facilitates peer review, and a dashboard with aggregated machine and human

About
The Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Journal Collection aims to examine the nature
of disciplinary practices and the interdisciplinary practices that arise in the context
of “real-world” applications. It also interrogates what constitutes “science” in a social
context, and the connections between the social and other sciences. The journals in
this collection discuss the distinctive disciplinary practices within the sciences of
the social and examine examples of these practices. In order to define and exemplify
disciplinarity, the collection fosters dialogue ranging from the broad and speculative
to the microcosmic and practical. In considering the varied interdisciplinary,
transdisciplinary, or multidisciplinary work across and between the social, natural,
and applied sciences, the journals in this collection showcase interdisciplinary
practices in action. The focus of papers ranges from the finely grained and empirical,
to wide-ranging multidisciplinary and trans-disciplinary practices, to perspectives on
knowledge and method.

Associate Editors
Articles published in the Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Journal Collection are peer
reviewed by scholars who are active members of the Interdisciplinary Social Sciences
Knowledge Community. Reviewers may be past or present conference delegates, fellow
submitters to the collection, or scholars who have volunteered to review papers (and
have been screened by Common Ground’s editorial team). This engagement with the
knowledge community, as well as Common Ground’s synergistic and criterion-based
evaluation system, distinguishes the peer review process from journals that have a
more top-down approach to refereeing. Reviewers are assigned to papers based on
their academic interests and scholarly expertise. In recognition of the valuable feedback
and publication recommendations that they provide, reviewers are acknowledged

Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Submission Process
Journal Collection Submission Process and Timeline
Below, please find step-by-step instructions on the journal article submission process:
1. Submit a conference presentation proposal.
2. Once your conference presentation proposal has been accepted, you may submit your article by clicking the
“Add a Paper” button on the right side of your proposal page. You may upload your article anytime between
the first and the final submission deadlines. (See dates below)
3. Once your article is received, it is verified against template and submission requirements. If your article
satisfies these requirements, your identity and contact details are then removed, and the article is matched to
two appropriate referees and sent for review. You can view the status of your article at any time by logging into
your CGPublisher account at www.CGPublisher.com.
4. When both referee reports are uploaded, and after the referees’ identities have been removed, you will be
notified by email and provided with a link to view the reports.
5. If your article has been accepted, you will be asked to accept the Publishing Agreement and submit a final copy
of your article. If your paper is accepted with revisions, you will be required to submit a change note with your
final submission, explaining how you revised your article in light of the referees’ comments. If your article is
rejected, you may resubmit it once, with a detailed change note, for review by new referees.
6. Once we have received the final submission of your article, which was accepted or accepted with revisions, our
Publishing Department will give your article a final review. This final review will verify that you have complied
with the Chicago Manual of Style (16th edition), and will check any edits you have made while considering the
feedback of your referees. After this review has been satisfactorily completed, your paper will be typeset and a
proof will be sent to you for approval before publication.
7. Individual articles may be published “Web First” with a full citation. Full issues follow at regular, quarterly
intervals. All issues are published 4 times per volume (except the annual review, which is published once per
volume).
Submission Timeline
You may submit your article for publication to the journal at any time throughout the year. The rolling submission
deadlines are as follows:
• Submission Round 1 – 15 January
• Submission Round 2 – 15 April
• Submission Round 3 – 15 July
• Submission Round 4 (final) – 15 October
Note: If your article is submitted after the final deadline for the volume, it will be considered for the following year’s
volume. The sooner you submit, the sooner your article will begin the peer review process. Also, because we publish
“Web First,” early submission means that your article may be published with a full citation as soon as it is ready,
even if that is before the full issue is published.
Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Common Ground Open
Hybrid Open Access
All Common Ground Journals are Hybrid Open Access. Hybrid Open Access is an option increasingly offered by
both university presses and well-known commercial publishers.
Hybrid Open Access means some articles are available only to subscribers, while others are made available at no
charge to anyone searching the web. Authors pay an additional fee for the open access option. Authors may do this
because open access is a requirement of their research-funding agency, or they may do this so non-subscribers can
access their article for free.
Common Ground’s open access charge is $250 per article­–a very reasonable price compared to our hybrid open
access competitors and purely open access journals resourced with an author publication fee. Digital articles are
normally only available through individual or institutional subscriptions or for purchase at $5 per article. However,
if you choose to make your article Open Access, this means anyone on the web may download it for free.
Paying subscribers still receive considerable benefits with access to all articles in the journal, from both current and
past volumes, without any restrictions. However, making your paper available at no charge through Open Access
increases its visibility, accessibility, potential readership, and citation counts. Open Access articles also generate
higher citation counts.
Institutional Open Access
Common Ground is proud to announce an exciting new model of scholarly publishing called Institutional Open
Access.
Institutional Open Access allows faculty and graduate students to submit articles to Common Ground journals for
unrestricted open access publication. These articles will be freely and publicly available to the whole world through
our hybrid open access infrastructure. With Institutional Open Access, instead of the author paying a per-article
open access fee, institutions pay a set annual fee that entitles their students and faculty to publish a given number of
open access articles each year.
The rights to the articles remain with the subscribing institution. Both the author and the institution can also share
the final typeset version of the article in any place they wish, including institutional repositories, personal websites,
and privately or publicly accessible course materials. We support the highest Sherpa/Romeo access level—Green.
For more information on how to make your article Open Access, or information on Institutional Open Access, please
contact us at [email protected].

For the Article
“Learning and Teaching Scholarship: Discovery across Disciplines,” The International Journal of Interdisciplinary
Social Sciences: Annual Review, Volume 10
Abstract
This article describes a community of practice in learning and teaching scholarship, spanning the social sciences,
humanities, and creative arts disciplines in an Australian university. Those in formal leadership roles for learning
and teaching have adapted the “integrated scholarship” approach, which involves collaborative learning through
practice, research, reflection, and discovery. Using a comparative personal narrative methodology, we focus on
stories of leading curriculum development and implementation. First, we explain the aims of the community of
practice, in establishing a colloquial space to explore stories from practice in different disciplinary group contexts.
Second, we present three stories from our practice, illustrating the influence of the disciplines on our leadership
practice and language. Third, we compare the approaches, outcomes, and reflections in the three contexts, with
further reflection upon the implications of building relationships between disciplinary “world views” in the social
sciences, humanities, and creative arts. The article highlights that interdisciplinary thinking is integral to making
creative connections for collaborative knowledge building, in exploring the scholarship of learning and teaching
across disciplines.

Monarchial Roles: Redefining Religion and Family under
Henry VIII and Mary I
Niki Incorvia
Henry VIII will always be remembered as the man who married six times and executed
two of his wives. His eldest daughter, Mary I, is also commonly remembered for
her less than flattering legacy as the English queen who burned over 300 Protestant
subjects during her short reign. Although these events happened, there is more to
Henry and Mary than their infamous legacies as English rulers. Used as an alternative
explanation for their actions, role theory can illuminate the role conflict, identity
conflict, and transformations that led to a separation of Henry VIII and Mary I as
individuals, and as sovereigns. Their roles as King and Queen of England set them
apart as individuals and led them to behave in a way that may not have been true to
their characters if they were not monarchs, especially in sixteenth century English
society. This book presents an additional theory through the study and exploration of
the complicated lives of Henry VIII and Mary I and Tudor family politics.

Feminist Post-structuralism, Critical Media Education

Democracy demands that education pay urgent attention to the anomaly of
gender inequity in socio-economic and political environments. This book aims
to suggest ways in which realist, patriarchal discursive devices - such as binary
language, naturalization and objectivity in texts - which are used to perpetuate such
discriminatory meaning, can be “made strange”, and therefore be undermined, in the
interests of a transparent society. The feminist post-structuralist approach to History
teaching (and to the teaching of other subjects) which is advocated in this book, offers
textual deconstruction, and reconstitution as an exciting, alternative methodology of
open interpretation and plural perspective. Language is viewed as preceding gender
subjectivity; and gender identity is understood as being constituted by discursive
meaning in language. Language is therefore seen as the site of struggle for power in
relation to identity positioning. This book suggests that language be used to allow for
the close observation of codes and conventions which support embedded patriarchal
power relations. The feminist post-structuralist methodology is employed to investigate
binary language within the framework of six aspects of critical media education,
namely: agencies, categories, technologies, languages, audiences and representations.
The main aim of the book is to investigate whether this approach can open up space
for female voices, of the past and present, in order to reconstruct realist historical
narratives. Suggestions for gender-fair History teaching and a lesson example for
classroom practice are offered in the book.

Democracy and Democratization in Africa
Lembe M. Tiky
Unlike other studies of democracy and democratization in Africa that start the
investigation with postcolonial developments, this book is a comprehensive study
that investigates political developments in African colonial and postcolonial states.
The research finds that centralized and decentralized African states designed and
implemented democratic institutions hundreds of years before they were ultimately
defeated by European powers. This argument turns upside down the conventional
view that the birth place of democracy is the ancient city-state of Athens; it shows that
democracy emerged in Africa and later spread in Greece. Moreover, the book proposes
an original theory of democratization that discusses the conditions of the emergence of
democracy in the context of precolonial Africa.
Analyzing politics in contemporary African states, the study draws a sharp dichotomic
line between democracy and dictatorship and proposes a classification and ranking of

these two types of political regimes in Africa. Looking ahead, this work also discusses
and proposes answers to some of the most important issues regarding the building of
democratic regimes in contemporary African states.
The methodological strategy adopted by this project is that of triangulation:
comparative historical analysis, theoretical and empirical analyses contribute to provide
a comprehensive explanation of democratic development in both pre- and postcolonial
African states.

The Social Mind:
Language, Ideology, and Social Practice
James Paul Gee
The Social Mind was first published in 1990. It was meant to show that there was
no conflict between sociocultural views of language, learning, and thinking and new
psychological views of the mind/brain. Neural network approaches to the mind argue
that the mind is furnished by an unbelievably large network of neural associations.
These associations are based on our lived experiences, which are different for all of
us. It is our social and cultural affiliations that shape and mentor our experiences so
that we can share, collaborate, and communicate in terms of a social mind that we all
partially share and nonetheless also contribute to in unique ways. The book still stands
as a leading statement of how work on situated and embodied cognition leads us to,
and contributes to, sociocultural theories of language and learning.

Health and Human Rights in Ghana:
The Political and Economic Aspect of Health Care
Isidore Bonabom
Many of the people who can afford to pay for health care travel outside Ghana for
medical care when they are faced with serious health problems. Public health care
should not be about affluence; it is a human rights issue. This inevitable link between
health and human rights is sometimes overlooked in the national discourses about
public health and individual access to health care. This book examines the domestic
legislation on the public health care system in Ghana. The analysis is situated within
the provisions of international human rights treaties, the medium-to long-term
consequences of some economic policies, the role of the traditional medicine system in
public health care, the silent epidemic of the hepatitis B virus (HBV), and the human
rights question in an age of HIV/AIDS in the country. State responsibility to respect,
protect, and fulfil the right to health translates to many responsibilities for the citizens,
not the least of which is providing the framework for good health delivery.

Death, Our Last Illusion: A Scientific and Spiritual
Probing of Consciousness through Death
Susan Shore
Is there anything beyond death? And is it worth having?
This book begins with the latest science on the Near-death Experience, then explores
the passage through physical death to the states of conscious being beyond. These
states—often blissful—are outlined by our great religious traditions, and detailed in
Tibetan Buddhism and the perennial philosophy, particularly in the Alice Bailey books.
Traditional sources are compared with findings of science and medicine, and
psychology from Jung and Piaget to Wilber. Later chapters examine clinical studies
by reputable psychiatrists and psychologists: These were undertaken after they
accidentally took subjects into ‘the place the Tibetans call the Bardo’—the state after
death / between lives.

graduate diplomas in education and librarianship. The author’s professional career
ranged through positions as librarian, teacher, social worker and counsellor. Ms.
Shore’s own spiritual journey took her from a conventional upbringing in the Church

Interdisciplinary Social
Sciences Conference
Discussing and examining key issues
in the social sciences, and building
face-to-face relationships with
leading and emerging scholars from
the field that represent a broad range
of disciplines and perspectives
Interdisciplinary Social Sciences About the Conference
Conference History
Founded in 2006, the International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences examines the nature of
disciplinary practices in the study of society, and the interdisciplinary practices that arise in the context of ‘real
world’ applications of social research and theory. It also interrogates what constitutes ‘science’ in a social context,
and the connections between the social and other sciences. The focus of papers ranges from the finely grained and
empirical (research practices and results exemplifying one or more disciplines), to wide-ranging multi-disciplinary
and trans-disciplinary perspectives on knowledge and method.
The International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences is built upon four key features: Internationalism,
Interdisciplinarity, Inclusiveness, and Interaction. Conference delegates include leaders in the field as well
as emerging scholars, who travel to the conference from all corners of the globe and represent a broad range
of disciplines and perspectives. A variety of presentation options and session types offer delegates multiple
opportunities to engage, to discuss key issues in the field, and to build relationships with scholars from other
cultures and disciplines.

Interdisciplinary Social Sciences About the Conference
Conference Principles & Features
The structure of the conference is based on four core principles that pervade all aspects of the knowledge
community:
International
This conference travels around the world to provide opportunities for delegates to see and experience different
countries and locations. But more importantly, the Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Conference offers a tangible and
meaningful opportunity to engage with scholars from a diversity of cultures and perspectives. This year, delegates
from over 56 countries are in attendance, offering a unique and unparalleled opportunity to engage directly with
colleagues from all corners of the globe.
Interdisciplinary
Unlike association conferences attended by delegates with similar backgrounds and specialties, this conference
brings together researchers, practitioners, and scholars from a wide range of disciplines who have a shared interest
in the themes and concerns of this community. As a result, topics are broached from a variety of perspectives,
interdisciplinary methods are applauded, and mutual respect and collaboration are encouraged.
Inclusive
Anyone whose scholarly work is sound and relevant is welcome to participate in this community and conference,
regardless of discipline, culture, institution, or career path. Whether an emeritus professor, graduate student,
researcher, teacher, policymaker, practitioner, or administrator, your work and your voice can contribute to the
collective body of knowledge that is created and shared by this community.
Interactive
To take full advantage of the rich diversity of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives represented at the conference,
there must be ample opportunities to speak, listen, engage, and interact. A variety of session formats, from more to
less structured, are offered throughout the conference to provide these opportunities.
Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Ways of Speaking
Plenary
Plenary speakers, chosen from among the world’s leading thinkers, offer formal
presentations on topics of broad interest to the community and conference
delegation. One or more speakers are scheduled into a plenary session, most often the
first session of the day. As a general rule, there are no questions or discussion during
these sessions. Instead, plenary speakers answer questions and participate in informal,
extended discussions during their Garden Sessions.
Garden Conversation
Garden Conversations are informal, unstructured sessions that allow delegates a
chance to meet plenary speakers and talk with them at length about the issues arising
from their presentation. When the venue and weather allow, we try to arrange for a
circle of chairs to be placed outdoors.
Talking Circles
Held on the first day of the conference, Talking Circles offer an early opportunity to
meet other delegates with similar interests and concerns. Delegates self-select into
groups based on broad thematic areas and then engage in extended discussion about
the issues and concerns they feel are of utmost importance to that segment of the
community. Questions like “Who are we?”, ”What is our common ground?”, “What
are the current challenges facing society in this area?”, “What challenges do we face
in constructing knowledge and effecting meaningful change in this area?” may guide
the conversation. When possible, a second Talking Circle is held on the final day
of the conference, for the original group to reconvene and discuss changes in their
perspectives and understandings as a result of the conference experience. Reports from
the Talking Circles provide a framework for the delegates’ final discussions during the
Closing Session.
Themed Paper Presentations
Paper presentations are grouped by general themes or topics into sessions comprised of
three or four presentations followed by group discussion. Each presenter in the session
makes a formal twenty-minute presentation of their work; Q&A and group discussion
follow after all have presented. Session Chairs introduce the speakers, keep time on the
presentations, and facilitate the discussion. Each presenter’s formal, written paper will
be available to participants if accepted to the journal.
Colloquium
Colloquium sessions are organized by a group of colleagues who wish to present
various dimensions of a project or perspectives on an issue. Four or five short formal
presentations are followed by a moderator. A single article or multiple articles may be
submitted to the journal based on the content of a colloquium session.
Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Ways of Speaking
Focused Discussion
For work that is best discussed or debated, rather than reported on through a formal
presentation, these sessions provide a forum for an extended “roundtable” conversation
between an author and a small group of interested colleagues. Several such discussions
occur simultaneously in a specified area, with each author’s table designated by a
number corresponding to the title and topic listed in the program schedule. Summaries
of the author’s key ideas, or points of discussion, are used to stimulate and guide the
discourse. A single article, based on the scholarly work and informed by the focused
discussion as appropriate, may be submitted to the journal.
Workshop/Interactive Session
Workshop sessions involve extensive interaction between presenters and participants
around an idea or hands-on experience of a practice. These sessions may also take
the form of a crafted panel, staged conversation, dialogue or debate—all involving
substantial interaction with the audience. A single article (jointly authored, if
appropriate) may be submitted to the journal based on a workshop session.
Poster Sessions
Poster sessions present preliminary results of works in progress or projects that lend
themselves to visual displays and representations. These sessions allow for engagement
in informal discussions about the work with interested delegates throughout the
session.
Virtual Lightning Talk
Lightning talks are 5-minute “flash” video presentations. Authors present summaries
or overviews of their work, describing the essential features (related to purpose,
procedures, outcomes, or product). Like Paper Presentations, Lightning Talks are
grouped according to topic or perspective into themed sessions. Authors are welcome
to submit traditional “lecture style” videos or videos that use visual supports like
PowerPoint. Final videos must be submitted at least one month prior to the conference
start date. After the conference, videos are then presented on the community YouTube
channel. Full papers can based in the virtual poster can also be submitted for
consideration in the journal.
Virtual Poster
This format is ideal for presenting preliminary results of work in progress or for
projects that lend themselves to visual displays and representations. Each poster should
include a brief abstract of the purpose and procedures of the work. After acceptance,
presenters are provided with a template, and Virtual Posters are submitted as a PDF
or in PowerPoint. Final posters must be submitted at least one month prior to the
conference start date. Full papers can based in the virtual poster can also be submitted
for consideration in the journal.

Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Plenary Speakers
David Humphreys
Responding to Planetary Change: What Role for the Social Sciences in the Anthropocene?
David Humphrey’s is a Professor of Environmental Policy currently serving as the Associate Dean
(Curriculum and Qualifications) and Social Sciences Programme Director. He began working at the
Open University in 1995, after working in accounts and as a merchant seaman. During a two year career
break in the 1980s he travelled extensively, developing a concern about global environmental
degradation along the way. This eventually led to a PhD in international forest politics at City University London and
to his current research in global environmental governance, politics, and policy.
David has served as an advisor to the World Commission on Forests and Sustainable Development, as a member of
the Scientific Advisory Board of the European Forest Institute and with various UK government delegations to the
United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF). He was a UK representative on COST Action E19, a EU-funded research
project on ‘National Forest Programmes in a European Context’, and is currently a UK representative on COST
Action FP1207 on ‘Orchestrating forest policy analysis in Europe’. He was a member of the International Union of
Forest Research Organisations (IUFRO) Global Forest Expert Panel on the international forest regime and of the
IUFRO Task Force on International Forest Governance and is currently working with the IUFRO Working Group on
Forest Policy Learning Architecture and Governance. In 2011, he was a member of the Development Partnerships
in Higher Education (DelPHE) team on academic capacity building in Afghanistan supported by the British Council
and Department for International Development.
David have guest edited special issues of four peer-reviewed journals: Forest Policy and Economics (2002, with
Peter Glück); Global Environmental Politics (2003, with Matthew Paterson and Lloyd Pettiford); Journal of
Integrative Environmental Sciences (2009); and Environmental Science and Policy (2014, with Marleen Buizer
and Wil de Jong). With two colleagues (Shonil Bhagwat and Nikoleta Jones) he is currently co-editing a special issue
of Forest Policy and Economics on forest management in the Anthropocene. He’s also a member of the editorial
advisory board of Forest Policy and Economics and of the advisory board for Common Ground’s Global Studies and
On Sustainability Knowledge Communities.
In 2015, David was appointed lead editor of Common Ground’s On Sustainability Journal Collection, and academic
lead for the annual International Conference on Environmental, Cultural, Economic, and Social Sustainability.
David’s current research interests center on five interrelated areas at the interface of geography, environmental
politics, and international studies. The first is global environmental governance, with a particular interest in the
United Nations Forum on Forests and other forest-related international organizations, including the Framework
Convention on Climate Change and the UN REDD+ mechanism. Research in this area also focuses on private
sector governance schemes in shaping norms and rules, the interactions between public and private spheres in
environmental governance, and the democratic regulation of business corporations. The second is environmental
philosophy and environmental law, and in particular the role that different rights claims play in shaping
environmental politics and domestic and international law, with an interest in the moral claim that nature has
rights that precede those of humans. The third is the relationship between science, technology, and politics with
particular interests in two areas: forest science and geoengineering. The fourth is research into national forest policy
in the United Kingdom within the context of pan-European forest policy. The fifth is the relationship between ideas
on sustainability and heritage, both environmental heritage and urban heritage. A common theme to all areas of
research is the relationship between theory and practice and how research can inform the work of external user
groups to generate durable governance.

Estimados participantes del XI Congreso de Ciencias Sociales Interdisciplinares:
Bienvenidos a Londres, al XI Congreso Internacional de Ciencias Sociales Interdisciplinares. Creamos la
Comunidad de Conocimiento de Ciencias Sociales Interdisciplinares, el congreso y la colección de revistas con
la finalidad de explorar los conceptos de disciplinariedad e interdisciplinariedad en las ciencias humanas, lo que
representa un panorama interesante del estudio de la vida social digno de ser llamado “ciencia”, y también otras
perspectivas que indagan sobre el problema del método y de la naturaleza de la interdisciplina.
Desde su primera emisión en 2006, en la Universidad del Egeo, en la isla de Rodas, Grecia, la Comunidad de
Conocimiento de Ciencias Sociales Interdisciplinares se ha mantenido unida en torno al interés común en
perspectivas disciplinares e interdisciplinares entre las ciencias sociales, las ciencias naturales y otras ciencias
aplicadas. En 2007, el congreso se llevó a cabo en la Universidad de Granada, en España. En 2008, en el Monash
University Centre, en Prato, Italia. En 2009, en la Universidad de Atenas, en Grecia. En 2010, en la Universidad
de Cambridge, en Reino Unido. En 2011, en la Universidad de Nueva Orleans, en Estados Unidos. En 2012, en
la Universidad Abat Oliba, en España. En 2013 en la Charles University, en la República Checa; en 2014, en la
Universidad de British Columbia, en Canadá; la última emisión del Congreso fue en el 2015, en la University
of Split, en Croacia. En 2017, celebraremos el congreso en Hiroshima, Japón, en el Hiroshima International
Conference Center.
Los congresos son espacios de intercambio efímero; hablamos, aprendemos y nos inspiramos, pero estas
conversaciones se desvanecen con el tiempo. Por ello, la Comunidad de Conocimiento ha establecido diferentes
tipos de publicaciones, con el fin de capturar estas conversaciones y formalizarlas en objetos de conocimiento, así
que los invitamos a presentar sus investigaciones en la Colección de Revistas de Ciencias Sociales.
Common Ground Publishing organiza la Comunidad de Conocimiento de Ciencias Sociales Interdisciplinares en
colaboración con los editores y los socios comunitarios. Desde 1984, año de su fundación, nuestra empresa se ha
comprometido con la creación nuevos tipos de comunidades de conocimiento que sean innovadoras en sus medios
de comunicación y que tengan una visión de futuro en sus discursos. Además, hemos asumido algunos de los retos
fundamentales de nuestra época para trascender las estructuras de conocimiento existentes. La sustentabilidad,
la diversidad, el aprendizaje, el futuro de las humanidades, la naturaleza de la interdisciplinariedad, el lugar de las
artes en la sociedad, las conexiones de la tecnología con el conocimiento, el papel cambiante de las universidades,
todas son cuestiones realmente importantes de nuestro tiempo que requieren un pensamiento interdisciplinario,
conversaciones globales y colaboraciones intelectuales interinstitucionales. Common Ground es un lugar de
encuentro para las personas, las ideas y el diálogo.
Sin embargo, la fuerza de estas ideas no consiste en encontrar denominadores comunes. Al contrario, el poder y la
resistencia de estas ideas es que se presentan y se examinan en un ámbito compartido donde las diferencias tienen
lugar —diferencias de perspectiva, de experiencia, de conocimientos, de metodología, de orígenes geográficos o
culturales o de afiliación institucional. Estos son los tipos de entornos académicos, vigorosos y solidarios, en los
que se llevarán a cabo las deliberaciones más productivas sobre el futuro. Nos esforzamos en crear los lugares de
imaginación e interacción intelectual que nuestro futuro merece.
interdisciplinasocial.com
Desde su creación, Common Ground Publishing se ha comprometido con la diversidad y con la creación de puentes
entre las diferentes lenguas y culturas, que nos permitan traspasar las fronteras lingüísticas y geográficas. Para
cumplir con este ideal, hemos lanzado Common Ground Español, ahora con sede en el Recinto de Investigación de
la Universidad de Illinois en Urbana-Champaign, con el fin de crear y desarrollar comunidades de conocimiento en
América Latina, sobre la base de la lengua y la cultura hispánica y portuguesa.
Gracias a todos los que han participado en la organización de este congreso. Un agradecimiento personal a nuestros
colegas de Common Ground, que han puesto mucho trabajo y esfuerzo en la realización de este congreso: Rachael
Arcario, Dominique Moore, Joseph Miebach, Homer (Tony) Stavely, Jessica Wienhold-Brokish, y Meg Welter.
Les deseamos lo mejor para este congreso y esperamos que les brinde muchas oportunidades para dialogar tanto
con colegas cercanos como de todo el mundo.

Comunidad de Conocimiento
La comunidad de conocimiento de Ciencias Sociales representa un foro para el diálogo entre perspectivas
disciplinarias e interdisciplinarias en torno a la creación de conocimiento en las ciencias sociales y otras ciencias
aplicadas. Los miembros se reúnen anualmente en el congreso para compartir experiencias disciplinarias, o bien
se mantienen en contacto por medio de la colección de revistas de Ciencias Sociales que Common Ground publica
en línea, lo que les permite mantenerse al tanto de los resultados de la investigación social, gracias a las nuevas
posibilidades que ofrecen los medios digitales.
Congreso
El congreso presenta ciertas características clave: es internacional, es interdisciplinario, es inclusivo y se basa en la
interacción. Entre los participantes se encuentran pensadores líderes en el campo de conocimiento de las ciencias
sociales, así como investigadores emergentes, que vienen desde diferentes lugares del mundo y que tienen la
oportunidad de compartir, en las diversas sesiones del congreso, sus propias perspectivas de estudio y conocer otras
nuevas, así como establecer contactos académicos que les permitan un desarrollo profesional.
Publicaciones
Al participar en el congreso, los miembros de la Comunidad de Ciencias Sociales Interdisciplinarias tienen la
posibilidad de publicar en la colección de revistas de Ciencias Sociales si adaptan su propuesta a un formato de
artículo académico. Las revistas asociadas a la comunidad someten a los artículos recibidos a un proceso de revisión
por pares anónimo, pero a diferencia de otras revistas académicas tradicionales, conciben este proceso desde una
perspectiva constructiva e integradora, lo que les brinda los más altos estándares de calidad.

Tema Destacado 2016
Un periodo y sus fines: las ciencias sociales en la era del Antropoceno
Desde que los primeros cazadores y recolectores cobraron presas y quemaron tierras, seguidos de los agricultores
que labraron los campos y sembraron cultivos, hasta la llegada de las chimeneas industriales y, en tiempos más
recientes, la intensa globalización social, política y económica, la acción colectiva del ser humano ha dejado una
huella innegable en el ambiente natural. Las fases más recientes de esta larga historia se designan hoy “la era del
Antropoceno”, o un periodo en que una sola especie está decidiendo la dirección de la historia natural de la Tierra.
Un propósito fundamental de la descripción de la era es entender una nueva fase en la interacción entre lo social
y lo natural, patente hoy en día en los cambios que el ser humano ha inducido en la temperatura mundial, el nivel
del mar y el CO2 en la atmósfera, por mencionar sólo algunas de las consecuencias de las alteraciones ecosistémicas.
Hay una especie de teleología en este argumento. Nos encontramos “en” la era del Antropoceno, pero al
mismo tiempo nos preocupan sus “fines” en el sentido de los propósitos y efectos humanos. En las versiones
más apocalípticas de este argumento, el daño humano a la Tierra puede socavar las condiciones mismas de la
existencia del hombre y otras formas de vida en el planeta. Los “fines” se pronostican con base en las pruebas
de los impactos cada vez mayores de la actividad humana y los sistemas sociales en la Tierra. ¿Cómo pueden
los enfoques interdisciplinarios de las ciencias sociales ayudarnos a explorar estos “fines” de nuestra era en
cuanto a sus consecuencias ambientales y humanas? El tema destacado de este año para la Comunidad de
Conocimiento de Ciencias Sociales Interdisciplinares —Un periodo y sus fines: la ciencia social en la era del
Antropoceno— es necesariamente abierto por la naturaleza contingente de los “fines” humanos. Aceptemos o no
la velocidad del cambio ambiental mundial, las repercusiones humanas en el medio ambiente exigen revaluar
los anclajes disciplinarios de las ciencias sociales. Con miras hacia el futuro, ¿cómo podemos recorrer caminos
sociales alternativos sostenibles, sensibles al ambiente natural? ¿Qué perspectivas científicas y métodos sociales,
económicos, políticos, educativos y naturales deben plantearse en este esfuerzo esencialmente interdisciplinario?
Colección de revistas
de Ciencias Sociales
Interdisciplinares
Las revistas de la colección de
Ciencias Sociales pretenden ser
un recurso intelectual ante las
tendencias emergentes en el campo
de las ciencias sociales, que integre
perspectivas disciplinarias e
interdisciplinarias en la creación del
conocimiento en las ciencias sociales,
las ciencias naturales y otras ciencias
aplicadas
Colección de Revistas
Acerca de nuestro enfoque editorial
Desde hace 30 años, Common Ground Publishing se ha comprometido con la creación de espacios para el encuentro
entre personas e ideas. Con 10 comunidades de conocimiento en español y portugués, y 24 comunidades en inglés,
la misión de Common Ground es proveer plataformas que reúnan a personas de diversos orígenes geográficos,
institucionales y culturales en espacios donde académicos y otros profesionales puedan establecer relaciones en
los distintos campos disciplinarios de estudio. Cada comunidad de conocimiento organiza un congreso académico
anual de carácter internacional y se asocia con una revista académica que funciona bajo la revisión por por pares (o
una colección de revistas), una colección de libros y una serie de redes sociales en torno a un nuevo “espacio social
de conocimiento”, que ha sido desarrollado por Common Ground: Scholar (http://cgscholar.com/).
Mediante los servicios editoriales, Common Ground sostiene el objetivo fomentar los más altos estándares de
excelencia intelectual. Somos muy críticos con las deficiencias que existen en el actual sistema de publicaciones
académicas, incluidas las redes que restringen la visibilidad de los académicos e investigadores emergentes en los
países en desarrollo, así como los costos e ineficiencias asociados con la edición comercial tradicional.
Para combatir estas deficiencias, Common Ground ha desarrollado un modelo de publicación innovador. Cada una
de las comunidades de conocimiento de Common Ground organiza un congreso académico anual cuya cuota de
inscripción incluye la publicación de un artículo —si pasa el proceso de revisión por pares— en la revista asociada
sin costo adicional. De este modo los autores pueden presentar una ponencia en un congreso científico de su área
de investigación, incorporar las críticas constructivas que reciben de los asistentes y después de incorporarlas,
enviar un artículo sólido para someterlo al proceso de revisión por pares, sin que el autor tenga que pagar una tasa
adicional.
Al usar una parte de la cuota de inscripción para financiar los costes asociados a la producción y comercialización
de las revistas, Common Ground es capaz de mantener bajos los precios de suscripción, facilitando así el acceso a
todos nuestros contenidos. Los participantes del congreso pueden subir sus presentaciones al canal de YouTube de
Common Ground, además de contar con una suscripción electrónica gratuita a la revista por un periodo de un año.
Esta suscripción permite el acceso a todos los números de la revista en español, portugués e inglés. Además, cada
artículo que publicamos está disponible de forma individual con una tarifa de descarga para los no abonados. Los
autores disponen además de la opción de publicar su artículo en acceso abierto para así poder llegar a una mayor
audiencia y garantizar la difusión más amplia posible.
El riguroso proceso de revisión de Common Ground trata también de abordar algunos de los sesgos inherentes a
los modelos tradicionales de las editoriales académicas. El conjunto de revisores, dictaminadores o árbitros está
conformado por los mismos autores que han enviado artículos a la revista, así como también por académicos
voluntarios cuyos currículos y experiencia académica han sido evaluados por el equipo editorial de Common
Ground. Los artículos son asignados a revisores con base en sus intereses académicos y experiencia. Al tener
voluntarios y a otros autores como posibles revisores, Common Ground evita los inconvenientes de someter los
textos al juicio de un solo editor, lo que muchas veces limita la publicación académica. En cambio, Common Ground
aprovecha el potencial de los participantes del congreso y de los autores de las revistas para evaluar los trabajos, con
un sistema de evaluación basado en criterios más democráticos e intelectualmente más rigurosos que otros modelos
tradicionales. Common Ground también valora la importante labor de los revisores, al reconocerlos como Editores
Asociados en los volúmenes en los que contribuyen.
Colección de Revistas
Con la creación de un software asombrosamente innovador, Common Ground también ha comenzado a hacer frente
a lo que considera como un cambio en las relaciones tecnológicas, económicas, geográficas, interdisciplinarias,
sociales y de distribución y difusión del conocimiento. Desde hace más de diez años hemos estado construyendo
una editorial mediada por las tecnologías web y las nueves redes sociales, donde la gente pueda trabajar en estrecha
colaboración para aprender, crear y compartir conocimiento. La última creación de este proyecto es un entorno
social de conocimiento pionero llamado Scholar (http://cgscholar.com/), plataforma informática que provee un
lugar donde los académicos pueden conectarse en red y dar visibilidad a sus investigaciones mediante una librería
personal.
Los invitamos a que sean parte de estas comunidades en la creación de diálogos entre diferentes perspectivas,
experiencias, áreas de conocimiento y metodologías, y de las interacciones en el congreso, las conversaciones online,
los artículos de la revista o la colección de libros.
Sobre la Colección de Revistas de Ciencias Sociales Interdisciplinares
La colección presenta perspectivas tanto disciplinarias e interdisciplinarias en el ámbito de las ciencias
sociales, y las relaciones entre las ciencias aplicadas, las ciencias sociales y las ciencias naturales. Tiene como
objetivo examinar la naturaleza de las prácticas disciplinares y las prácticas interdisciplinares que surgen en el
contexto de las aplicaciones en el “mundo real”. También se interroga sobre el significado de la ciencia en un
contexto social, y las conexiones entre lo social y las demás ciencias particulares. La revista discute las prácticas
disciplinares distintivas en el seno de las ciencias sociales y examina ejemplos de estas prácticas. Con el fin de
definir y ejemplificar lo que constituyen las disciplinas, la revista fomenta el diálogo, ya sea desde una perspectiva
global, teórica y especulativa, o desde una perspectiva local y empírica. Al considerar las variadas perspectivas
interdisciplinares, transdisciplinares o multidisciplinares que permean las ciencias sociales, las ciencias naturales
y las ciencias aplicadas, la revista muestra el modo en que las prácticas interdisciplinares entran en acción. El
enfoque de los artículos puede ir desde aportaciones empíricas y estudios de casos, hasta una amplia gama de
investigaciones sobre prácticas multidisciplinares y transdisciplinares, así como reflexiones sobre el conocimiento
sociológico y sobre las metodologías aplicables.
La colección de revistas de Ciencias Sociales Interdisciplinares está compuesta por ocho revistas temáticas que a
continuación se describen.

Sobre del Congreso
Principios y características del congreso
La estructura del congreso se basa en cuatro principios básicos que imbuyen todos los aspectos de la comunidad de
conocimiento:
Internacional
Este congreso viaja por todo el mundo para ofrecer a los delegados la oportunidad de ver y experimentar distintos
países y localidades. Más importante aún, el Congreso Interdisciplinario de Ciencias Sociales ofrece una posibilidad
tangible y significativa de interactuar con académicos de diversas culturas y perspectivas. Este año asistirán
delegados de más de 56 países, lo que representa una ocasión única y sin precedente para relacionarse directamente
con colegas de todos los rincones de la Tierra.
Interdisciplinario
A diferencia de los congresos de asociaciones profesionales, a los que asisten delegados de formaciones y
especialidades parecidas, este congreso reúne investigadores, practicantes y académicos de un amplio espectro
de disciplinas, que tienen un interés común en los temas y preocupaciones de la comunidad. En consecuencia, los
temas se abordan desde una diversidad de perspectivas, se aplauden los métodos interdisciplinarios y se promueven
el respeto mutuo y la colaboración.
Incluyente
Se acepta con gusto la participación de cualquier persona cuyo trabajo académico sea relevante en esta comunidad
de conocimiento y en este congreso, sin importar su disciplina, cultura, institución o trayectoria profesional. Tanto
si es usted profesor emérito como si es estudiante de posgrado, investigador, maestro, creador de políticas públicas,
practicante o administrador, su obra y su voz pueden contribuir al corpus colectivo de conocimiento que esta
comunidad crea y comparte.
Interactivo
Para obtener el mayor provecho de la diversidad de culturas, formaciones y perspectivas representadas en el
congreso, debe haber grandes oportunidades de hablar, escuchar, relacionarse e interactuar. Se ofrece una
diversidad de formatos de sesión, de más a menos estructurados, para garantizar estas oportunidades.

Ponente Plenarios
David Humphreys
Responding to planetary change: What role for the social sciences in the Anthropocene?
(“Respuesta al cambio planetario: ¿cuál es el papel de las ciencias sociales en el Antropoceno?”)
David Humphreys es profesor de Política Ambiental y actualmente presta servicio como decano adjunto
(plan de estudios y titulación) y director del Programa de Ciencias Sociales. Empezó a trabajar en la
Universidad Abierta en 1995, tras dedicarse a la contabilidad y la navegación mercante. Durante una
pausa de dos años en su trayectoria profesional en la década de los ochenta, viajó por el mundo,
adquiriendo sobre la marcha una preocupación por la degradación ambiental mundial. Esto con el tiempo lo llevó a
obtener un doctorado en política forestal internacional en la City University London y a su actual investigación en
gobernanza y política ambiental mundial.
David ha sido consejero de la Comisión Mundial de Bosques y Desarrollo Sostenible, como miembro del Consejo
Consultivo Científico del Instituto Forestal Europeo y en varias delegaciones del gobierno británico al Foro de
las Naciones Unidas sobre los Bosques (FNUB) Fue representante del Reino Unido en COST Action E19, un
proyecto de investigación de la Unión Europea sobre “Programas Forestales Nacionales en un Contexto Europeo”.
Fue miembro del Panel Mundial de Expertos Forestales de la Unión Internacional de Institutos de Investigación
Forestal (IUFRO) en torno al régimen forestal internacional, así como del Comité de la IUFRO sobre Gobernanza
Forestal Internacional, y actualmente participa en el Grupo de Trabajo de la IUFRO sobre Arquitectura y
Gobernanza del Aprendizaje de Políticas Forestales. En 2011 fue miembro del equipo de fomento de la competencia
académica de las Sociedades para el Desarrollo de la Educación Superior (DelPHE) en Afganistán, apoyado por el
Consejo Británico y el Departamento para el Desarrollo Internacional.
David ha sido editor invitado de números especiales de cuatro revistas con revisión de pares: Forest Policy and
Economics (2002, con Peter Glück); Global Environmental Politics (2003, con Matthew Paterson y Lloyd Pettiford);
Journal of Integrative Environmental Sciences (2009), y Environmental Science and Policy (2014, con Marleen
Buizer y Will de Jong). Está coeditando, con dos colegas (Shonil Bhagwat y Nikoleta Jones), un número especial de
Forest Policy and Economics sobre la administración forestal en el Antropoceno. También es miembro del consejo
consultivo editorial de Forest Policy and Economics u del consejo consultivo de la comunidad de conocimiento de
Estudios Globales de Common Ground.
En 2015 David fue nombrado editor principal de la colección de revistas sobre Sostenibilidad de Common Ground, y
director académico del Congreso Internacional anual sobre Sostenibilidad Ambiental, Cultural, Económica y Social.
Los actuales intereses de investigación de David se centran en cinco campos interrelacionados en la confluencia de
la geografía, la política ambiental y los estudios internacionales. El primero es la gobernanza ambiental mundial,
con atención especial al FNUB y otras organizaciones internacionales relacionadas con los bosques, entre ellas
la Convención Marco sobre Cambio Climático y el mecanismo REDD+ de las Naciones Unidas. La investigación
en este campo también se centra en esquemas de gobernanza del sector privado para conformar normas y reglas,
la interacción entre los sectores público privado en la gobernanza ambiental, y la regulación democrática de las
empresas. El segundo es la filosofía ambiental y el derecho ambiental, en particular el papel que desempeñan
distintas reivindicaciones de derechos en la conformación de las políticas ambientales y las leyes nacionales e
internacionales, con atención a la reivindicación moral de que la naturaleza tiene derechos que anteceden a los
del ser humano. El tercero es la relación entre ciencia, tecnología y política, con interés especial en dos áreas: la
ciencia forestal y la geoingeniería. El cuarto es la investigación en la política forestal nacional del Reino Unido en
Ponente Plenarios
el contexto de la policía forestal paneuropea. El quinto es la relación entre las ideas de sostenibilidad y patrimonio,
tanto ambiental como urbano. Un tema común a todos estos campos de investigación es la relación entre la teoría
y la práctica y cómo la investigación puede informar el trabajo de grupos externos de usuarios para generar una
gobernanza duradera.
Daniel Rourke
Embracing the Horror of The Anthropocene
(“Cómo aceptar el horror del Antropoceno”)
Daniel Rourke es un escritor/artista que vive en Londres. Su obra explota la ficción especulativa y
científica en busca de un “exterior” radical de lo humano/las humanidades, incluido una vasta
investigación de la intersección entre la materialidad digital, las artes y el posthumanismo. Su escritura,
conferencias y perfil artístico son extensos y comprenden colaboraciones con destacadas publicaciones e
instituciones en Londres, Mánchester, Nueva York, San Francisco, Irán y otros lugares. En 2015 Daniel colaboró
con el artista y activista Morehshin Allahyari en The 3D Additivist Manifesto: un llamado a acelerar las tecnologías
más allá de sus límites, hasta el ámbito de lo provocador y lo extraño. La colaboración de estos artistas fue
seleccionada para el Programa de Residencia Vilém Flusser para la Investigación Artística, en asociación con
Transmediale, de Berlín, en el verano de 2016.

Twelfth Interdisciplinary Conference on
Interdisciplinary
Social Sciences
Founded in 2006, the International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social
Sciences is brought together by common interest in disciplinary and
interdisciplinary approaches, within and across the various social sciences,
and between the social, natural, and applied sciences. The conference
also investigates what constitutes “science” in a social context and the
connections between the social and other sciences. The focus ranges
from the finely grained and empirical to wide-ranging multidisciplinary and
transdisciplinary perspectives on knowledge and method.
We invite proposals for paper presentations, workshops/interactive
sessions, posters/exhibits, colloquia, Virtual Lightning Talks, or
Virtual Posters.
