The Community College of Qatar will hold Fourth Humanities conference 2017 under the theme “A Nation in Transition”, on March 29 and 30 at the City Centre Rotana in Doha.

Organised by CCQ and sponsored by RasGas and Qatar Petrochemical Company (QAPCO), the event will tackle ambitious pursuit of many countries towards transition, among them State of Qatar, with its National Vision 2030 and its four pillars: Human, Social, Economic and Environmental Development.

This year’s conference will feature high-level speakers from around the world, bringing together approximately forty scholars from sixteen countries to explore challenges and successes of transition that people and nations have encountered, and continue to encounter, through topics such as education, gender roles, tradition, social media, government, technology, globalisation, and economics.

The Community College of Qatar’s First Humanities Conference was launched in 2013 with the title, “Seeing Life, Life as Seen: Constructing Reality” to promote scholarly dialogue and exchange and contribute to the existing body of knowledge within the humanities and social sciences fields.
