To further explore themes associated with the diverse concepts of value, the Valuing Nature Programme is pleased to support this Call for Papers inviting abstracts on Theoretical traditions in social values for sustainability which will form a Special Feature of Sustainability Science edited by Chris Raymond, Jasper Kenter, Carena van Riper, Andrea Rawluk and Dave Kendal.

Upon acceptance of their abstracts, authors will be invited to a two-day global research workshop focused on: 

• Sharing and discussing draft papers for the special feature to enable integration and coherent use of terms
• Preparation of a synthesis/future directions paper based on the knowledge gaps and insights of all special feature papers and
• Network building activities.

This Call will bring together diverse social science, natural science and humanities disciplines such as economics, psychology, sociology, philosophy, geography, anthropology and conservation science to assemble and cross-fertilise theoretical starting points for understanding social values. 

Submission of abstracts by March 16, 2018.
