ICGPSH 2025

————————————————————————

The 3rd International Conference on Global Politics and Socio-Humanities (ICGPSH 2025) was a hybrid conference which included several symposium series (offline and online) around the world. Dr. Ifa Khan from Northeastern University, Dr. Enrique Mallen from Sam Houston State University, and Dr. Canh Thien Dang from King's Collage London have chaired these symposium series on related topics. ICGPSH 2025 provided the participants with good opportunities to exchange ideas and build networks, and it will lead to further collaborations between both universities and other societies.

Symposium:

Northeastern University

Organizer: Dr. Ifa Khan, Professor in Northeastern University

The topic under discussion is “International Relations and Global Governance.” In today’s globalized world, growing interdependence among nations has made the governance of international affairs more critical than ever. As globalization transforms political, economic, and cultural landscapes, effective governance is essential for navigating the complexities of diplomacy, economic cooperation, and conflict resolution. The symposium explored how global governance structures—such as the United Nations, World Bank, IMF, and WTO—help manage the balance between cooperation and competition. These institutions are at the forefront of addressing pressing global issues such as economic inequality, political instability, and climate change. As we observe, new trends such as digital diplomacy and transparent multilateral practices are reshaping how states engage and collaborate.

While dyslexia itself is a neurological condition that exists across all languages, the way it manifests in Spanish can appear different compared to English because Spanish has a more "transparent" orthography, which means that the letter-sound correspondences are more consistent, making reading difficulties for dyslexic individuals potentially less severe in Spanish compared to languages like English which has more irregular spellings. Nevertheless, Spanish speakers with dyslexia still frequently face challenges in spelling. There are six areas where Spanish spelling is not consistent. We called these the h issue, the b / v issue, the j / g issue, the q issue, the z / c issue, and the LL issue. The workshop discussed different proposed strategies to assist learners with dyslexia to cope with these issues. Among the strategies that we presented, some involved apply the spelling rules in alternative ways, using ordered lists to play games of guessing, inventing oral stories that include words from a specific list, playing games such as defining the words on a list, use lists of words to work on reading speed, using a title board to revise sounds, using colored paper and pens to write words, use flash cards, playing memory games, play bingo using words, playing rhyming games, using interactive, multisensory learning to reinforce spelling.

The session began by unpacking the foundational principles of data visualisation, including clarity, accuracy, and audience awareness. Participants were introduced to key visualisation tools and techniques, with a focus on how to represent trade flows, market dynamics, and economic indicators effectively. Through hands-on exercises, attendees learned to critically evaluate visualisations for bias, distortion, and communicative value. A central theme of the workshop was the "language of trade"—the terminology, metrics, and patterns that define global commerce—and how this language can be made more accessible through visual formats. Participants explored case studies where data visualisation played a pivotal role in shaping trade policy, business strategy, and public understanding. The symposium also encouraged interdisciplinary thinking, drawing connections between data science, economics, and communication. Participants worked in small groups to create their own visualisations using real-world trade datasets, receiving feedback on both technical execution and narrative coherence.

Online Session:

The online session of the 3rd International Conference on Global Politics and Socio-Humanities (ICGPSH 2025) was held on July 25, 2025. Dr. Enrique Mallen from Sam Houston State University, Dr. Ifa Khan from Northeastern University, Dr. Canh Thien Dang from King's College London, Dr. Abdullah Laghari from Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering, Science and Technology, and Dr. Renuka Thakore from University of Central Lancashire were invited to give keynote speeches on related topics. Also, we invited authors of qualified papers to deliver oral presentations at the Online Session in the field of international law, politics, humanities, etc. Questions from the audience were collected and answered by the presenters.
