12th Annual Conference of the Social Sciences:
From Social Problems to Social Promise
April 15, 2017
University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida
Submission Deadline: March 10, 2017
For the past 12 years, the Florida Society of the Social Sciences (F3S) has strived to provide a unique forum for students of the humanistic and social
sciences to engage with fellow scholars. The cornerstone of F3S’s efforts is the Annual Conference of the Social Sciences, where graduate and undergraduate students come together to present and discuss their work with a broad
audience that crosses disciplines, professions, origins, and walks of life.
The 12th Annual conference theme,
From Social Problems to Social Promise, highlights the role of research in addressing social inequalities, cultivating a sense of hope, and providing more equitable solutions for the future. We are excited to announce this year’s keynote speaker:
Dr. Carla Shedd, Assistant Professor
of Sociology and African American Studies at Columbia University.
Please read the information provided below to guide you as you prepare a submission.
TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS:
We welcome papers or poster presentations from graduate (and undergraduate) students in the humanities, social sciences, and interdisciplinary fields. We also welcome
workshop proposals.
- Formal Paper Sessions: These formal sessions include 15-minute presentations of forthcoming research. Presentations
will be grouped thematically to form a complete session. A question and answer session will follow all presentations.
- Poster Sessions: Posters are appealing visual representations illustrating a research question, methods,
and outcomes. Posters will be displayed during scheduled time slots and presenters will have the opportunity to discuss their research with conference attendees. All stages of work welcome.

to students and early career scholars. We encourage workshop submissions focusing on professional development, community engagement, relevant technologies, etc.
