Welcome to Encountering the Human(ities)

October 30-31, 2026 | Dhaka, Bangladesh
Organized by Department of English and Modern Languages,
North South University

The Department of English & Modern Languages at North South University is hosting a conference that showcases international research on how traditional ideas of humans as purely rational beings are being challenged in today’s world, where humans are deeply connected with technology, artificial intelligence, and other non-human forces. We seek to foster diversity in theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of the role of the humanities, especially in language, literature, and TESOL, by encouraging alternative forms of critical inquiry, pedagogy, and praxis within and beyond academic spaces.

We welcome full papers and posters!

For any questions about accessibility at the conference, please contact the organising committee at the earliest opportunity via the conference email address: conference.deml@northsouth.edu
