SUMMARY:Call for Papers: Voice of Social Sciences International Conference
DESCRIPTION:Theme: AFRICA IN THE AGE OF UNCERTAINTIES: RISKS, RESILIENCE AND FUTURE PROSPECTS




Voice of social sciences (VSS) is a biannual international conference that is organised by the College of Social Sciences (CoSS) at the University of Dar es Salaam since 2014. In 2024, CoSS will hold the 8th edition of VSS. VSS2024 will reflect on Africa’s place and role in the uncertainties currently facing the world, manifesting in, among other things, global health challenges, climate change, major powers competition and the resulting security challenges as well volatile economic trends.
The aim of VSS2024 is to raise voices of social science scholars in the world to reflect on a myriad of issues pertaining to the continent’s current and future prospect in response to the global uncertainties. The Conference invites scholars, practitioners and students from a wide range of social science disciplines – sociology, anthropology, psychology, political science, economics, statistics, geography, environment and related disciplines – to engage and advance social science research.
In particular, we invite paper abstracts, panel proposals and student posters which address at least one of the following sub-themes;
