The Society for Cross-Cultural Research will hold its 39th Annual Conference jointly with the meetings of the Society for Anthropological Sciences (SASci) and the American Anthropological Association Children and Childhood Interest Group (AAACIG) in Albuquerque, Feb. 17-20, 2010.
SCCR, a multi-disciplinary organization sharing a common devotion to the conduct of cross-cultural research, is currently accepting papers from the areas of psychology, anthropology, communications, sociology, social work, education, ethnic studies, family studies and other related fields for the annual conference.
“Albuquerque is hosting the upcoming SCCR conference for the first time and this will be a great opportunity for many UNM students and faculty to present their research at this academic forum,” Ziarat Hossain, conference organizer and associate professor of Family Studies in the College of Education at UNM. “SCCR is a growing national/international professional organization and you can get to know other people at conference on a first name basis.”
The deadline to submit paper abstracts, posters or symposia is Nov. 30, 2009. Acceptance notifications will be released by Dec. 10, 2009. Submissions will be peer reviewed. SCCR encourages on-line submissions and to submit online visit: SCCR Online Submissions.
Fundamentally inter-disciplinary, SCCR has provided members the opportunity to network with scholars from a wide variety of approaches to cross-cultural and comparative research since its founding in 1971.
