Call for papers<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no dearth of debates and discussions around the destiny and destination, scope, and worthiness (read \u2018marketability\u2019 or commercial viability) of studies in the Liberal Arts and Humanities. In the face of palpable apprehensions from various corners of academia as well as corporates, the anxious practitioners of liberal arts and humanities have learnt to become rather fiercely interdisciplinary, manifest in the seemingly ever stretching academic cartography that now even includes several areas of science, technology, and business. There are emphases these days on Digital Humanities, Technical and Professional Writing, Computer Literacy and so on\u2013 all of which combine the humanities and technology. The \u2018soft\u2019 and \u2018transferable\u2019 skills\u2013 capacity for thinking, reasoning, and imagining alternatives, interpreting, communicating, and understanding of human nature, in short, for a holistic development of human individuals \u2013 can be attained through such learning, and that is an important reason why the disciplines in arts and humanities are far from becoming redundant or outdated. Anything that requires writing and reflecting, for example, cannot be adequately done by computers, or technologies for that matter \u2013 at least not yet. Thus there are some valuable skills that the humanities and liberal arts cultivate, and those are also highly valued in the modern workplace, even in business consulting. As we know, the field, primarily, has been dedicated to studying and understanding human beings, human endeavours, and human nature, so how can it be not one of the \u2018ideal paths\u2019 to careers that involve humans? Or how can it be futile or useless in terms of the contemporary human needs and concerns? Rather, are not studies in the liberal arts and humanities increasingly becoming more relevant in a world that is starkly plagued by unjust and discriminatory distributions of dignity, rights, and resources, and also by the rise of diverse forms of extremism, intolerance, and violence?
On this note, the Faculty of Arts, Rajshahi University, is going to arrange its second International Conference on Issues and Discourses around Liberal Arts and Humanities during 13-14 November 2022. This two-day event promises to offer a suitable space for those who are interested in engaging with the debates and discussions hinted above.
