About CHSS

The Centre of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS) is an interdisciplinary academic platform that focuses on the intersection of society, culture, technology, law, and economy. With the industrial, scientific, and technological changes shaping the global world, disciplines of social sciences and humanities are undergoing continuous theoretical, conceptual, and methodological transformation. Contemporary society is deeply embedded in digital economy, information capitalism, surveillance and privacy, artificial intelligence, social media, digital well-being, and mental health. Scientific and technological innovations have reshaped the very context of social sciences and humanities. CHSS has developed at Symbiosis Law School, Hyderabad, to understand and explore these changes through an intersectional approach. It encompasses interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary methods and frameworks to offer applied courses, research, and training.

• To organize conferences, symposiums, workshops, and lecture series.
• To initiate collaborative publication of papers, books, and chapters.
• To offer training programs on qualitative and digital research methods, such as digital ethnography, for students' projects.
• To carry out extension and outreach programmes in collaboration with universities, NGOs, and CSR organizations.
• To provide a platform for academic counselling and guidance (including mental health and quality of life).
• To carry out projects supported by funding agencies such as ICSSR, UNDP, etc.
• To offer short-term certificate courses on areas like legal framework for digital data, digital privacy, digital surveillance, and digital legal aid.
