This two-day workshop aims to investigate the question of unification in 
the social sciences and its relation to interdisciplinary research. We 
aim for contributors from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds and 
research approaches. Keynote speakers who have confirmed their 
participation are Max Steuer and Peter Abell, LSE, and Hans Radder, Free 
University Amsterdam. Arguments and reflections based on case studies 
from interdisciplinary research are especially welcome, even if more 
theoretical papers are also sought for. We encourage submission of 
papers proposing reflections on at least one of the following set of 
questions:

    * What does it mean to unify the social sciences (from the
      methodological, epistemological and/or ontological perspective)?
    * How, if at all, can unification be achieved?
    * Is it possible and/or desirable to unify the social sciences?
    * Would unification encourage interdisciplinary research (for
      instance, by making it easier to forge connections among
      disciplines)? Or does interdisciplinary research require pluralism
      among the social sciences?

In order to present a paper at the workshop, an abstract of no more than 
300 words should be sent to: editor@gjss.org by 30th June. Successful 
applicants will be notified by mid-July.
