*****ABOUT THE CONFERENCE*****

This interdisciplinary conference will draw together faculty members,
research scientists, and professionals from the social sciences, and
provide them with the opportunity to interact with colleagues from
the same field and from other, related fields. Cross-disciplinary
submissions are particularly encouraged as is participation by
international scholars. The disciplines represented will include:

* Anthropology,
* Area Studies (Asia, Latin Am, Europe, America),
* Criminology,
* Economics,
* Geography,
* Gender Studies,
* History,
* International Studies,
* Political Science,
* Policy/Public Administration,
* Psychology,
* Race/Ethnic Studies,
* Sociology, and
* Urban Studies.

The registration fee includes two lunches and two breakfasts as well
as breaks/receptions. The registration fees are discounted by $50 for
people who stay in the conference hotel. Registration fees are lower
for graduate students than for faculty/professionals, and the form is
available on the website <http://www.centrepp.org/socscireg2005.pdf>

To give you some idea of the papers presented at this conference, the
program from the previous conference is located on the conference
website. Here are a few comments from attendees at the meeting last
year:

"I particularly enjoyed the interdisciplinary nature of the meeting,
and that it draws so many international scholars - it provides a
wonderful perspective..."

"The quality of the food was the best that I have experienced at a
professional meeting."

"I appreciated the many opportunities to network with other
researchers - at meals, during receptions and during sessions."

"The meeting was professionally helpful, but it was also a lot of
fun. Make sure you send me information about the next meeting."

*****TRAVEL INFORMATION*****

Orlando, is one of the top travel destinations in the United States.
The weather is great (well except for summer which can be a bit
warm), and with Disney and the many theme parks, it is the top
destination for vacationing families. However Orlando has more than
Mickey Mouse; the city is a short drive from the beach and there is
now a vibrant nightlife. With golf, NASA, and Universal Studios,
Orlando is a great place to visit in the winter. If you wish to
extend your stay, the hotel will honor the conference rage for three
days before or after the meeting.
