Conference Themes
We invite original research contributions on the following themes:
This theme will explore the transformative role of AI in personalized learning, curriculum design, and assessment. Paper presentations will address ethical concerns such as algorithmic bias, data privacy, and the long-term impact of AI-driven tools on educational equity and access.
This theme explores gender representation in digital learning spaces and the barriers faced by women and non-binary individuals in accessing and thriving in education. Scholars will present initiatives that promote gender equity and inclusivity, examining how technology can be leveraged to empower marginalized gender identities, challenge biases, and create more diverse and representative educational environments.
This theme will explore how technology can support culturally responsive education, facilitating inclusivity and mutual understanding in increasingly diverse classrooms. Paper presentations will cover technology’s role in language translation, adaptive learning for varied cultural contexts, and the potential risks of cultural biases in emerging technologies.
This theme examines how teacher education programs can be restructured to equip educators with the necessary digital skills, pedagogical approaches, and technological competencies for modern classrooms. It will explore the integration of AI-driven tools, digital literacy training, and innovative teaching methodologies to enhance educators' ability to engage diverse learners. Discussions will also focus on policy recommendations, curriculum design, and strategies for continuous professional development in an evolving digital landscape.

Aims and Scope: The Journal of Creative Communications promotes inquiry into contemporary communication issues with implications for society and business. The journal encourages a new language of analysis for contemporary communications research and publishes articles that push the frontiers of theory and practice. JOCC showcases diversity of theoretical positions and methodologies to readers across disciplines and regions and calls for contribution in the disciplines of communication, management, and media. As a Journal committed to nurturing scholarship from early career researchers and emerging economies, we encourage new research in media, creative, and culture industries; strategic communication for business and marketing; communication for social change; cultural studies and related domains.

ICSCT upholds the principles of originality, academic integrity, and transparency. While we recognize the evolving role of generative AI, submissions must reflect the original research and intellectual contribution of the author(s). If AI tools have been used, participants must explicitly acknowledge their use and ensure compliance with ethical academic standards.
