Conference Overview
Themes of the Conference
The very first Transdisciplinary Academic Conference for Emerging Scholars introduces three major themes of transdisciplinary research, celebrating enquiries through discourse and humanity, saga and statecraft, and by mind and innovation to facilitate panel discussions.
Discourse and Humanity stems from humanistic and linguistic research. Scholars explore how their fields intersect with technology and social sciences, employing concepts drawn from artificial intelligence, sociology and geography.
Saga and Statecraft roots itself in historical and socio-political investigation. Emerging scholars employ methods in economics, education and psychology to analyse complex topics such as war, law and public policy.
Mind and Innovation originates from psychological, philosophical and scientific scholarship. Budding researchers tackle pressing issues in mental health, engineering and ethics through transdisciplinary methodologies drawn from
various fields.
Together, this conference promotes transdisciplinary undergraduate research through active writing and sharing, highlighting intriguing studies from three main themes of academic exploration.
