CONFERENCE BACKGROUND
This conference seeks to draw together and highlight recent
developments within the social sciences and related disciplines that
offer an account of human activity that transcend purely
individualistic or structuralist accounts of the human condition.
Increasingly, psychologists, sociologists and many others, are
recognising that a full account of social activity necessitates an
explanation in terms of both the person and the world that this
person inhabits. It is towards an understanding of this social world
that this conference is addressed.
