30 May - 1 June 2012, The First Annual Conference on Complexity and Human Experience (Human Complexity 2012): Modeling Complexity in the Humanities and Social Sciences, Charlotte NC, U.S.A.

Date: 30 May - 1 June 2012
Location: Charlotte NC, U.S.A.
Deadline: 2 January 2012

The University of North Carolina will inaugurate an annual conference series, beginning in 2012, dedicated to complexity theory, with particular application to understanding the intricacies of human experience across all domains. The goal of the series is to provide a trans-disciplinary venue for scholars from the humanities and the social sciences, as well as some aspects of the natural sciences (such as neuroscience, pharmacology, etc.). Since matters of life and death pertain to human experience in profound and important ways, the conference hopes to attract representatives from the allied health sciences as well.

The conference series will be dedicated to a particular topic each year. The topic for our first conference will be: *Modeling Complexity in the Humanities and Social Sciences.*

Thus, preliminary work in progress or plans for a research program are welcomed and encouraged. Submission Deadline: January 2nd, 2012.
