The purpose of this seminar is to provide free space in which new ideas can be developed through discussions and intellectual interactions. Furthermore, the seminar targets to contribute to fostering the next generation of scholars who would be armed with interdisciplinary knowledge in order to contribute to achieving the sustainability goals.
Society 5.0 mainstreamed the concept of a human-centered and technology-based society and strives to minimize the negative impact of artificial intelligence technology in which the role of humanities education increases manifold. The COVID-19 pandemic has taught the world how to move with technology while warning of several societal challenges. The humanities education may empower the next generation to deal with such challenges, which would further contribute to Society 5.0. Through this International Seminar, we will attempt to analyze how the new generation is coping with the new challenges while pursuing their research in this new era. For this purpose, we are glad to call for papers that explore how technology, above all digital science, can contribute to the humanities, or how the digital humanities can help to solve societal challenges.
We would like to invite young scholars to share their research outcomes with their overseas counterparts and receive comments from different perspectives for further improvement.
