Welcome to the 4th Conference on the Social Sciences, Sociology and Globalization in Asia (COSGA 2018), which is being held Sunday and Monday, June 24-25, 2018 at the Mitsui Garden Hotel in Hiroshima, Japan. This is an international, peer-reviewed event that is being held in partnership with two other small events focusing on perspectives on holistic sustainability: The 5th Symposium on Education and Language for Sustainability in Asia (SELSA 2018) and The 5th Conference on Anthropology and Sustainability in Asia (CASA 2018).Early Registration is only 25,000 JPY. All registered participants will be invited to the welcome reception and provided with a free, guided tour of Hiroshima Peace Park. The first 10 registrants will also receive a free ticket to the Miyajima Shrine Island Tour, which includes round-trip transportation, park entrance fee and cake with tea.About COSGA 2018There is no term these days with greater salience and complexity to describe the modern world than “globalization.” Although it is most prevalent in discussions on economics, its manifestation and influence span political, social, cultural and ideological realms as well. But what does “globalization” actually mean? The sociologist Roland Robertson first defined it in 1992 as “the compression of the world and the intensification of the consciousness of the world as a whole,” clearly transforming our ideas of space through complex social relations and other processes.Recent advances in transportation and technology have shattered our notions of isolated societies, lifting geographic, cultural, and belief barriers. This integration of societies has created an increased global interdependence or at least an interconnectedness whereby a nation’s actions have global effects, whether they are political, economical, cultural, etc. Globalization has brought many blessings; however, as it is sustained by values that characterize it as desirable progress, inequality, conflict, poverty, and environmental/climate change, among other ill-effects, are often overshadowed and exacerbated.As globalization intensifies in the 21st century, it is crucial we deepen our understanding of it by challenging our assumptions and analyzing the changing social dynamics it creates. This small conference will provide an interdisciplinary platform for academics, researchers, policy makers, students and interested community members. With the theme Sociological Perspectives on Globalization, the conference will be a wonderful opportunity to explore current research, trends, and insights about this phenomenon while expanding your professional network.We welcome proposals of 250 words in English by Friday, April 18, 2017 on any of the following COSGA 2018 streams:◾Anthropology◾Communication and Media◾Development Studies◾Education◾Gender & Sexuality Studies◾Globalization◾Human Geography◾Management◾Psychology◾Sociology◾Urban Studies◾Other Areas (please specify)Keywords: Accepted papers list.
