International Colloquium of Social Science ACUM

(2006– 2011)

International Colloquium of Social Science ACUM brings together the papers presented at the professional event of the same title, organized by the Faculty of Sociology and Communication, within Transilvania University of Braşov, which has been annually organized since 2006.

The studies were collected in six volumes and published at Transilvania University Press, between 2006 and 2011. They reflect, by evaluation and analytical exploration based on case studies, a modern perspective on the aspects of social life, communication, education and sociological research. By their contributions, the authors, experienced or emerging specialists, aim at identifying the major directions and at highlighting the strengths of: public relations, lifequality, social policies, community development, management of social institutions and organizations, epistemology, social theory and methodology, social ethics, social justice, suburban culture. The collection targets a wide audience and constitutes an information source for specialized teaching staff, researchers, as well as for students.

Initially edited as a monograph, it subsequently changed into a serial publication (2007), being printed in Romanian. Since 2011, it has been published in English. The issuing frequency was one volume per year until 2009; there after, in 2010 and 2011 it was biannual.
