This conference explores 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. The Social Sciences Conference was held in 2006 at the University of the Aegean in Rhodes, Greece, and in 2007 at the University of 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, and in 2013 at Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic. We will hold the 2015 Social Sciences Conference in Split, Croatia at the University of Split. In addition to organizing the Social Sciences Conference, Common Ground publishes papers from the conference at www.TheSocialSciences.com/Publications/Journal. We do encourage all conference participants to submit a paper based on their conference presentation for peer review and possible publication in the collection of journals for this knowledge community. We also publish books at www.TheSocialSciences.com/Publications/Books in both print and electronic formats. We would like to invite conference participants to develop publishing proposals for original works, or for edited collections of papers drawn from the journal which address an identified theme. Finally, please join our online conversation by subscribing to our monthly email newsletter, and subscribe to our Facebook, RSS, or Twitter feeds at www.TheSocialSciences.com. Common Ground also organizes conferences and publishes journals in other areas of critical intellectual human concern, including diversity, museums, technology, learning and the arts, to name several (see www.CommonGroundPublishing.com). Our aim is to create new forms of knowledge community, where people meet in person and also remain connected virtually, making the most of the potentials for access using digital media. We are also committed to creating a more accessible, open and reliable peer review process. Thank you to everyone who has prepared for this conference. A personal thank you goes to our Common Ground colleagues who have put such a significant amount of work into this conference: Monica Hillison, Ian Nelk, Homer Stavely, Izabel Szary, Ana Quintana, and Jessica Wienhold-Brokish. We wish the best for this conference and hope it will provide you every opportunity for dialogue with colleagues from around the corner and around the world. We hope you will be able to join us at next year’s Social Sciences Conference 11-14 June 2015 in Split, Croatia. Yours Sincerely, Bill Cope Director, Common Ground Publishing Research Professor, Dept. of Educational Policy Organizational and Leadership University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA 2 2014 Social Sciences Conference 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,
