Modern Approaches in Humanities and Social Sciences
Oti Boateng
ABSTRACT:
Modern approaches in the humanities and social sciences reflect evolving methodologies and interdisciplinary frameworks that respond to contemporary social, cultural, and technological challenges.
These fields, traditionally concerned with the study of human behavior, culture, and societal structures, have increasingly integrated innovative tools and perspectives from digital technology, critical theory, and globalized contexts.
The advent of big data, artificial intelligence, and computational methods has transformed traditional research approaches, enabling more nuanced analyses of social patterns, cultural production, and political dynamics.
At the same time, postmodern and decolonial theories have shifted focus toward questioning established narratives, highlighting marginalized voices, and emphasizing the fluidity of identity and power structures.
Contemporary research in the humanities and social sciences also emphasizes collaboration across disciplines, blending history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and political science to address issues like climate change, inequality, and migration.
This abstract underscores the relevance and adaptability of modern approaches in understanding complex societal transformations and the potential for these fields to offer solutions to global challenges, fostering a more inclusive and critical engagement with the world.
