The Integrated Network for Social Sustainability (INSS) is a research coordination network funded by the National Science Foundation to stimulate interdisciplinary discussion about the often-overlooked social dimension of sustainability. The 2017 INSS conference theme is \u201cSmart, Connected Communities\u201d. We invite abstracts for papers, digital posters, and other electronically archivable media from multiple disciplines and locations that address any of the following themes:<\/p>\n
Abstracts may explore these themes through the lenses of social justice, housing, water, transportation, security, communication, food, energy, education, health, etc. Individuals may also submit content as part of an \u201cemerging issues\u201d track, that may be unrelated to our conference theme. Abstracts and proposals should showcase the experiences and expertise of the author(s), and should be original works. Proposals for roundtables, workshops, and other events are also welcome, and should include a list of participants or activities, expected length (ideally less than 1.5 hours), and relevance to the conference theme and INSS.<\/p>\n
As part of our conference, we expect to populate a peer-reviewed special issue with select presentations from all INSS conference sites. Submissions may assume a traditional scholarly format (introduction- literature review- methods- analysis- conclusion), but non-traditional formats and mediums such as visual art, short story, filmed documentary, or poetry are also welcome. Workshop and event organizers may want to collaborate with participants on a publication.<\/p>\n
