Focus & Scope

The International Peer-Reviewed Research Journal HuSS released from the portals of Vellalar College for Women provides space for scholars, researchers, academicians and litterateurs to share, interact and disseminate diverse perspectives of domain knowledge and niche-area specializations by way of promoting multi-disciplinary research culture and to contemplate new forays into hitherto uncharted areas of research dimensions. The focus of the journal is to open the floodgates of research possibilities to raise new issues and to voice new ways of thinking with a strong edge towards ground-breaking explorations thereby changing and challenging the frontiers of knowledge. Broadly speaking, HuSS spans Humanities and Social Sciences and is bent on roping in a wealth of trans-global input of innovative, inventive, applied and problem-solving ideas and initiatives on upcoming research areas. The aim is to connect and reach out to the scholars across geographical boundaries and thus, nullify the spatial and temporal hiatus in accessing the Eastern and the Western pool of research experience and expertise.
