Overview
College of Humanities and Social Sciences is one of the six colleges in Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU). As part of an innovative research-driven university, CHSS aims at researching and disseminating knowledge related to the forefront issues in humanities and social sciences. Our values are excellence, diversity, society orientation, collaboration, innovation, and integrity. Also, our overarching theme is social justice that we attempt to integrate into our research activities. As a result, we aim to address social justice and achieve core values through interdisciplinary research.
Research Clusters
The two research clusters and their related research themes aim to organize research in the CHSS. Each research cluster can help the faculty and students to position themselves as researchers in the CHSS. Through these research clusters and research themes, the faculty and students get the chance to address relevant issues and produce new knowledge. The clusters are designed to be interdisciplinary and address a wide range of topics in humanities and social sciences. There is the hope that these research clusters create research spaces for cross-department and cross-college research collaborations.
Arabic Language, Identity, Culture, and Heritage
This research cluster centers on the multifaceted role of the Arabic language in shaping cultural identity and preserving heritage within an increasingly globalized world.
AI, Digitalization, and Society
