Founded in 2003, the New Directions in the Humanities Research Network is brought together by a common interest in established traditions in the humanities while at the same time developing innovative practices and setting a renewed agenda for their future. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries.
The Twenty-Fourth International Conference on New Directions in the Humanities calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus:
2026 Special Focus—Beyond Borders: The Role of the Humanities in Reimagining Communities Theme 1: Critical Cultural Studies Theme 2: Communication and Linguistics Studies Theme 3: Literary Humanities Theme 4: Civic, Political, and Community Studies Theme 5: Past and Present in the Humanistic Education
Held in partnership with the IAFOR Research Centre at the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) at Osaka University, this international conference encourages academics and scholars to meet and exchange ideas and views in a forum stimulating respectful dialogue. This event will afford an exceptional opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, networking, and facilitating partnerships across national and disciplinary borders.
Since its founding in 2009, IAFOR has brought people and ideas together in a variety of events and platforms to promote and celebrate interdisciplinary study, and underline its importance. Over the past year we have engaged in many cross-sectoral projects, including those with universities (the University of Barcelona, Hofstra University, UCL, University of Belgrade and Moscow State University), a think tank (the East-West Center), as well as collaborative projects with the United Nations in New York, and here, with the Government of Japan through the Prime Minister’s office.
With the IAFOR Research Centre, we have engaged in a number of interdisciplinary initiatives we believe will have an important impact on domestic and international public policy conversations. It is through conferences like these that we expand our network and partners, and we have no doubt that ACAH2025 will offer a remarkable opportunity for the sharing of research and best practice, and for the meeting of people and ideas.
The 16th Asian Conference on Arts & Humanities (ACAH2025) will be held alongside The 15th Asian Conference on Cultural Studies and The 16th Asian Conference on the Social Sciences. Registration for either conference will allow delegates to attend sessions in the other.
Join us for the 2025 Health Humanities Consortium Conference (HHC), co-presented by Jefferson Humanities & Health and the Health Humanities Consortium. The annual HHC Conference is an international convening of scholars, practitioners and students that promotes health humanities scholarship, education and practices at the intersection of the humanities, arts, and social sciences in health, illness and health care.
HCC and its conference seek to advance understanding of the experiences of patients, caregivers and communities as they are shaped in relation to models of disease, illness, health and wellness—and to educate the public, health professionals and educators about the history, practice and study of the health humanities.
