The International Conference on the Social Sciences and Humanities (ICHSS) organized by the Faculty of Arts, University of Peradeniya in 2018 is centered on the theme “Development, Diversity, and Harmony through Knowledge and Innovation”. It expects to bring together recent research findings and provide researchers from the humanities and social sciences with a common forum where both congruent and discordant patterns of knowledge would be recognized as contributing to development.
The ICHSS 2018 at Peradeniya looks forward to welcoming a wide audience which includes academics, professionals, policy makers, and postgraduate students.
