About ICIHCS

The International Conference on Interdisciplinary Humanities and Communication Studies in cooperation with top journals of the concerned research fields, qualified submissions will be recommended for submission and publication in the following special issues of relevant academic journals:

The study of humanities spans a variety of academic fields and is not restricted to any one area of research. Our conference aims to look into how interdisciplinarity, the humanities, and communication interact. What's more, our conference devotes to define the shifting connection among these concepts on the one hand, and extends current understanding of various studies on the other. We hope that interdisciplinary research with humanities and communication emphasis can all be traced back to the philosophical foundations of their research and therefore new ideas would be developed.

We welcome paper submissions from different areas: Literary Studies, Art History, Philosophy, Sociology, Communication, etc. In order to promote the exchange of scientific knowledge among students, researchers, and professionals worldwide, innovative scholars are encouraged to attend this conference. We are happy to listen to the presentations of various academics from humanities and social science at this conference. The conference is supported by faculty members from King's College London, Cardiff University, University of Wolverhampton, University of Murcia and so on.

The submission will first be reviewed for its topic and length, then go through an originality check. The peer-review process will begin soon after the paper is found to be qualified.
