Multidisciplinary Conference

 Department of Archaeology and Tourism

Faculty of Arts

University of Nigeria, Nsukka

1st Multidisciplinary International Conference (Maiden Edition)

Theme: Multi-disciplinary Research in the 21st Century: Planning for the

Present and Future

Date: 9th -12th May 2021

Venue: Department of Archaeology & Tourism, University of Nigeria, Nsukka

Call for Papers

Multidisciplinary research is en-vogue because of the realization that no discipline

has all the answers to all human and developmental problems. Multidisciplinary

research provides opportunities to tackle academic and societal issues from diverse

and interrelated perspectives. Multidisciplinary studies are expected to provide

solutions beyond the borders of any single discipline on problem(s) or issue(s).

Examples include contributions of the health sciences to pandemics (i.e. COVID-

19), or the interrogation of civil unrest and human rights violations by social

scientists. Understanding complex phenomena from multidisciplinary perspectives

is germane in solving societal and developmental issues. As such, the research

outcomes from such collaborations will be beneficial to multi-disciplines, nonacademic

sectors, and most importantly, influence policies that will improve our

society.

The Organizing Committee welcomes submissions relevant to the conference

theme 'Multi-disciplinary Research in the 21st Century: Planning for the Present

and Future'. Papers in other areas related to tourism, governance, education,

religion, heritage, and hospitality management are also welcomed. The sub-themes
