Welcome to ICOHS 2025
We welcome you to join us this summer in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA for The 4th International Conference on the Humanities, Social Sciences and Sustainability. ICOHS2025 will be held from Thursday through Saturday, August 21-23, 2025.
This three-day, peer-reviewed, international conference invites in-person oral and poster presenters as well as audience. In addition, online virtual sessions are also available for participants who are unable to travel to Honolulu. For details regarding presentations, visit our submissions page.
Set against the backdrop of the picturesque Hawaiian Islands, the ICOHS2025 will convene leading scholars, policymakers, educators, and stakeholders from around the world to deliberate on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the field of education.
ICOHS2025 will be held at the Airport Honolulu Hotel Conference Center. With quick access to downtown Honolulu and Waikiki, as well as excellent conference facilities, friendly staff, classic amenities and a convenient location, the Airport Honolulu Hotel is an excellent venue for ICOHS2025 participants looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city traffic and explore the most popular attractions of Oahu. ICOHS2025 will be held alongside The 2nd International Conference on Education and Language Learning in a Post-COVID World (ICELL2025).
About ICOHS2025
Whilst ecology and environmental studies have traditionally been covered within the natural sciences and earth sciences, increasingly, sustainability has taken root in subsets of the humanities and social sciences, in such topical areas as cultural sustainability, spiritual ecology, energy economics, environmental sociology and sustainable development, to name a few. Indeed, there is an important and often overlooked relation between the interaction between sustainability and the humanities and social sciences. Understanding this relationship through research and discussion could provide solutions to many of the ecological and urban problems that exist in the world today. Global initiatives, such as SDGs, as well as global challenges like the recent COVID-19 pandemic have underscored the importance of the humanities, the social sciences and the interconnectedness to sustainability.
Call for Proposals
With the theme of Embracing Change, ICOHS2025 will look at sustainability from perspectives in the humanities and social sciences. The objective of this event is not to redefine sustainability, but rather to draw upon the expertise of the humanities and social sciences as fields through which we can better understand the interrelation between nature and human cultures that impacts sustainability both positively and negatively.
The Early Bird Abstract Deadline is Friday, May 23, 2025. We welcome proposals from these streams:
- Anthropological Sustainability
- Biological Sustainability
- Cultural Sustainability
- Economic Sustainability
- Linguistic Sustainability
- Literature and Sustainability
- Religion and Green Philosophy
- Political Sustainability
- Sociology and Sustainable Development
- Other areas (please specify)
