COMPASS INTERDISCIPLINARY VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
‘BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS’
19-30 October 2009
These are the Keynote pleniary lectures for the 2009 Compass Interdisciplinary Virtual Conference.

Join the largest online meeting of minds in the social sciences and humanities!
In these days of increasing fragmentation and hyper-specialisation in academia, Compass aims to foster connections amongst scholars. To further this cause, Wiley-Blackwell and the Compass Editors-in-Chief are organising this online conference to promote interdisciplinary approaches.
The first Compass conference aims to cut across academic boundaries – within and between disciplines, between theory and practice, approaches and methodologies by providing a space for multi- and cross-disciplinary review
The overall theme of the conference is ‘Breaking Down Barriers’. Around 20 conference papers will tackle one or more of the following sub-themes:
• Paradigms
• Borders
• The Environment/Energy
• Communication
• Justice/Human Rights
