Research at CHSS

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 Division

The Research Division (RD) section of the CHSS website is a place to introduce research activities of the faculty and students. The faculty and students (especially Ph.D. students) are engaged in a variety of research projects related to issues in Humanities and Social Sciences. There is the hope that the outcome of these projects and the knowledge produced will be used by different stakeholders to enhance theory and practice. CHSS now has four research clusters, each with its related research themes. These research clusters and their related themes will direct the faculty and students research projects.

Research Clusters


The four 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.

Language, Mediation, and Inclusion
This research cluster focuses on three concepts of language, mediation, and inclusion. Language (in its broad sense) is a means for mediation (translation, language learning and teaching) to promote inclusion (empower people to become active agents of change in society).
Gender, Knowledge, and Power
This research cluster brings together interdisciplinary researchers and scholars from across CHSS who are committed in their academic research and pedagogies to social justice, social progress, and sustainability.
Digital Humanities and Computational Social Sciences
This research cluster will combine state-of-the-art research in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning to develop advanced textual analytics applied to a broad spectrum of humanities and social science fields.
Arabic Language and Multilingual Terminology Management
This research cluster enjoys a competitive advantage in Qatar thanks to the unique postgraduate and PhD offerings in CHSS. This research cluster is also supplemented with best practices and expertise in the Translation Training Center (TTC) and Language Center (LC).
