Dear Friends and Colleagues:
I am pleased to announce the 2nd Call for Papers for the 2011 Surrey Tourism Conference titled 'Advancing the Social Science of Tourism.' which will be held at the attractive campus of the University of Surrey in Guildford from 28 June - 1 July 2011. There is plenty of on-site accommodation and easy access to the airports at Heathrow and Gatwick and Central London.
We hope that this conference will attract papers on any aspect of tourism that are firmly embedded in one or more social science disciplines - anthropology, sociology, psychology, geography, economics, cultural studies, development studies, communication, demography, education, history, linguistics, management science, political science, philosophy.
The following themes offer some initial guidance:
• Interdisciplinary advances
• Transdisciplinarity
• Paradigm shifts in knowledge
• Complexity and chaos in tourism knowledge
• Innovative applications of tourism social science to practice
• Social science knowledge management and transfer
• Advances in social science and tourism
• Competing paradigms (e.g. mobilities, nomadology)
• Methodological advances in tourism social science
• The limits and challenges for tourism social science
• Papers that offer a critical review of progress and future agendas for tourism in any of the core social science disciplines are also welcome.
