About The Conference
“Culture and Society for Local and Global Sustainable Development”
As the world is facing serious population, environmental, food, and security issues that pertain to human survival and existence, it is imperative that all efforts made in terms of research, knowledge production, social activism, and community initiatives be dedicated to global sustainable development that is founded on fundamental principles such as respect for life, human rights, and environment. Social sciences and the humanities are called to be at the forefront of such concerted global efforts in the area of education, research, and community engagement. Building awareness and mobilizing people on how sustainable development can serve as the guiding beacon for opening up ways to the future have to be systematically and strategically prepared, and this is where social science and humanities scholars can play an important role. Major contributions in terms of ideas, designs, models, and strategies on how society and culture at both the local and global levels can be geared toward creating and securing sustainable development are, therefore, expected to come out from this conference.
Selected papers will be published in the Scopus/Thomson Reuter-indexed proceedings or Scopus-indexed journals.

Another selection process involving publisher’s editors or journals editors will take place separately, and authors whose papers are selected will be contacted by the Committee at a later date.

All revised papers have to be in good English, and follow the format guidelines stated on this website. Papers exceeding the 5000-word limit will not be considered for post-conference publication.
The Committee will issue payment receipts for participants who have paid the registration fee on the first day of the conference during the re-registration session. No email will be sent for payment confirmation.

The full rundown of the three-day conference will be posted on the website after September 23, 2017, as we intend to provide a maximum protection to authors’ privacy from spams by predatory publishers offering publication service.
