Conference Overview:
The Department of Languages and Linguistics, Ebonyi State University,
Abakaliki, is pleased to invite academics, researchers, linguists,
technologists, policymakers, development practitioners, security
experts, and stakeholders in governance to its Third International
Interdisciplinary Conference, slated for October 8–11, 2025.
This year’s theme explores the intersections of language, technology,
security, and development in the context of our evolving digital
world.
In an age where digital transformation is redefining every aspect of
human existence, the convergence of language, technoscience, security,
and development has become not only inevitable but essential. This
conference seeks to critically examine the interplay among these
domains, with particular emphasis on their impact on building a
holistic digital society that is inclusive, culturally grounded,
ethically sound, and socioeconomically balanced.
The conference interrogates how language practices, scientific and
technological innovations, political conduct, and cultural realities
intersect to shape or threaten our collective security and
development. Particular attention will be paid to emerging concerns
around cyber and physical security, spiritual and metaphysical
threats, sociopolitical instability, food insecurity, and the
communicative strategies of political actors in digitally networked
societies.
This event offers a robust platform for interdisciplinary engagement,
encouraging critical discourse and knowledge exchange across the
humanities, social sciences, and applied sciences. Scholars and
stakeholders are invited to contribute insights and solutions toward
building resilient, safe, and inclusive digital futures.
