The COVID-19 crisis in Iran has drawn the attention of academic scholars in all fields of knowledge. The researchers of humanities and social sciences as the same as the scholars of medical sciences and epidemiologists have been trying to participate in the whole process of crisis management. There have been published an enormous number of books and articles in the scopes of sociology, history, philosophy, linguistics, psychology, anthropology, economics, management, literature, geography, politics, theology etc. in Farsi, English, and other languages by Iranian and non-Iranian authors and researchers. This plethora of literature indicates that the Corona crisis is an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary phenomenon so that we cannot face that with disciplinary viewpoints. Besides, during the last few months, humanities and social sciences have proved their abilities and values to serve the society in critical situations. The scholars of these areas of knowledge have been involved in academic studies and activities, which their results have been digitally published for the public. These scholars, as social actors, have also been participating in volunteering and civic activities to provide help for the people. Articles published in this issue of the journal of interdisciplinary studies in humanities are parts of that huge job.
