Special Track on Digital Transformation & Humanities

---------
Overview
---------
The special session will be a forum to promote the discussion on the crossroads of digital transformation and humanities, with an emphasis on Education and Communication Sciences. Of interest are theories, processes, and digital technology-infused products that can provide a significant contribution to humanities.

The session will seek to foster the participation of humanities in the immersive learning research community, and conversely to foster current immersive learning researchers view of humanities, by seeking to understand how digital transformations have been originating changes in this field of human knowledge. This combined change in perspectives can contribute to the development of the academic and technical potential of immersive learning research for humanities, enabling what has been dubbed posthumanism research. Also, it seeks to encourage researchers in the field of humanities to establish effective partnerships with immersive learning researchers, enriching this community’s knowledge and know-how on philosophy, theology, sociology, anthropology, archaeology, history, geography, psychology, political science, international relations, and more.
