4thAnnual International Conference on Social Sciences

"Identity, Economics, and Politics"

10-11 September 2020, İSTANBUL

YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF ECONOMICS AND ADMINISTRATIVE SCIENCES INVITES THE SUBMISSION OF PAPERS ON: 4th ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOCIAL SCIENCES (AICSS). THE CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD ONLINE.

On behalf of Yıldız Technical University, we cordially invite you to the 4th Annual International Conference on Social Science in Yıldız Technical University, jointly organized with İstanbul Sabahattin Zaim University and Gebze Technical University. The Conference is going to take place on Zoom on 10-11 September 2020. AICSS aims to bring together researchers, scientists, scholars and students to exchange and share their experiences, reconceptions, and research results on the main conception of identity in social sciences from interdisciplinary perspectives.

The main theme of AICSS 2020 covers “Identity, Economics and Politics”. Along with increasing importance of mainly social identity issues at national and global scale in the recent years, showing themselves especially in economic, politic and social spheres, including economic decision-making processes, poverty, immigration, deprivation, social exclusion, inequality, welfare state and social and political clashes among different identities, it turns out to be a crucial attempt to give more academic inquiry to these issues. Considering the lack of academic emphasis given to these issues, we want to bring together different perspectives of scholars studying on this subject through this conference. Hence the Conference themes address a wide range of issues related to the concept of Identity from a multidisciplinary perspective. AICSS 2020 welcomes participations by scholars of Economics, Political Science, Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology, Humanities and Arts, Law and any related issues

AICSS 2020 is an internationally double-blind reviewed conference. Official language is English. In addition to individual presentations, AICSS 2020 also welcomes proposals for panels. Panel proposals should include a title, full name and affiliation of panel organizers, and panel description (max. 300 words).

Papers are published in the conference proceedings and selected papers from those presented at the conference will be considered for publication in a special issue of the Yıldız Social Science Review.
