The Social Sciences and Liberal Arts program at IBA aims to foster a culture of research and critical inquiry within the classroom and outside it. This year the Social Science Club at IBA, in collaboration with the SSLA Department, is launching the First Annual IBA Conference on Social Sciences and Humanities. This will be an inter-disciplinary conference and papers from all relevant disciplines are welcome as long as they are based on original research.
The vision of the Social Science Club is to initiate dialogue and provide opportunities for students to enhance their understanding by exposing them to different ideas and perspectives. The Club seeks to develop the intellectual, professional, and research interests of students. The aim of the conference is to nurture budding scholars and serve as a platform for an exchange of ideas. We want to give students the chance to share their work and present their findings but also to receive feedback that will help them improve their papers.
Submission Guidelines
