Life sciences have obviously mobilised globally to understand and fight the Coronavirus, and a great deal of social science research has also been conducted in many countries around the world since 2019. Hence, the French Presidency of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee Bureau - Management of Social Transformations (MOST) proposes to organise a colloquium to explore the broader social science perspective on the pandemic.
The conference will be organised under four sub-themes, from the life of the human body to state institutions, and globalisation. Different levels of social reality will be considered in a dialectical and non-deterministic way, in all the fields considered, giving priority to direct observations and first-hand data. The Conference is proposed to be held on Thursday 21 October and Friday 22 October 2021 at UNESCO Paris by videoconference.
ICSSR being the nodal agency of UNESCO-MOST programme and also heading the Sub-Commission on Social Sciences, has been invited to participate in the Conference through presentation on any one of the themes of the UNESCO Conference. ICSSR will participate through select scholars already pursuing their research in the desired areas.
