Western Social Sciences Association
52nd Annual Conference
April 14-17, 2010 ~ Reno, Nevada ~ Proposals due Dec. 1, 2009
The Western Social Science Association (WSSA) invites you to participate in the Spring 2010 meeting of the Association, being held April 14 – 17, 2010, at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada. As an organization, the WSSA is committed to multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship, service, and collegiality.
In April of each year, 900 or more social scientists gather for the Association’s annual conference. At a typical conference, held over three and one-half days, participants organized in some 30 sections and affiliated groups present 900 papers at 300 disciplinary and interdisciplinary panel sessions. Some of the larger affiliates include: Association of Borderlands Studies, Canadian Studies, the International Sociological Association, Sociology, Association for Institutional Thought, and Women’s Studies. While membership in the Association is encouraged, it is not necessary to present.
The Women’s Studies Section provides a venue for scholars from many disciplines to discuss issues pertinent to scholarship and leadership among and between traditional disciplines involved in Women’s Studies. The richness of the Women’s Studies Section derives from its very nature as an interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary program.
