These rapidly evolving technologies continue to change the way we engage with each other and existing systems, thereby requiring legal frameworks to evolve alongside them. The papers presented in this collection aim to address these very needs by exploring a multitude of reforms needed within legal philosophies and practices within environmental law, human rights law, business and bankruptcy law, criminal law, and international law, to name a few.

This collection contains selected papers from the The 3^rd International Conference on Humanities Education, Law and Social Sciences held in Makassar, Indonesia on 22 – 23 June 2023. This event was hosted by the Himpunan Sarjana Pendidikan Ilmu-Ilmu Sosial Indonesia (HISPISI)in Collaboration with the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law Universitas Negeri Makassar.

The conference was held to bring researchers, academics and policymakers together to reflect on the future of social sciences within the era of Society 5.0, and the ethical consequences of research done within this field. As scientific objectives and methodologies shift with technological advancements and social development, growing concerns around the social and moral responsibilities of researchers within the conference incite crucial discussions that address these concerns.

This KnE Social Sciences collection contains 118 peer-review papers that offer three broad types of original research. The first type of research deals with inefficient and inequitable models of research that often favour some academic voices and models over others. The second type of research offers solutions to these issues via a range of methodological approaches to social science research, focusing on issues such as plagiarism, e-learning models, and diversity and cultural exchange within academic spaces. The final segment portrays practical examples of how cultural and socially conscious research methods can be implemented to produce quality research, by exploring a variety of topical examples including poverty alleviation, wedding traditions in a globalised world, and community resilience during times of natural disaster. Collectively, these articles contribute to the broader discussions around the roles and responsibilities of social sciences in an exponentially changing world. 

These papers will be of interest to academics, students or professionals researching or working on field of social science.

This collection contains selected papers from The Third  Economic, Law, Education and Humanities International Conference (3th ELEHIC 2022) held in Padang, Indonesia on  November, 23^rd,  2022. This event was hosted by the Faculty of Economy and Business, Faculty of Cultural Science, Faculty of Law, and Faculty of Education of Universitas Bung Hatta.

The conference was held to address institutional transitions occurring in Indonesia’s public and private spheres, as technology, religious integrity, and the COVID-19 pandemic continue to influence an evolving society.  

This collection contains 24 peer-reviewed articles utilising multidisciplinary models of analysis to explore key questions posed by social scientists across the Global South. Scholars explore the need for new legal frameworks to protect working citizens in the age of technology and social uncertainty. As digital applications and artificial intelligence continue to take over human resources and support roles, employees in many industries are left legally vulnerable to the decision-making processes of these same technologies, sometimes being completely replaced by them. Legal frameworks are therefore required to adapt to Industry 4.0 at an exponential rate to maintain their relevance for the everyday lives of Indonesia’s population. This special issue deals with both practical and theoretical questions about the role of technology in job security and industry development within the Indonesian context.  

These papers will be of interest to academics, students, and professionals researching or working on Economics, Law, Cultural Science, and Education.
