Towards critically reading Self, Society and the Imagined.

Mission

The Department of English Studies aspires to promote an intellectual climate through artistic creation, critical mediation and innovative ideation in a culture of reciprocal transformation.

Overview

The Department promotes an intellectual climate of critical and creative ideation by inculcating among its students the habit of a critical reading of the word and the world alike. It has geared its academic engagements towards moulding students into responsible and socially sensitive citizens through programs that are designed to facilitate holistic development.

We  offer courses that support English language competence across the University, using relevant and digital modes as well as conventional methods developing and producing our own content and materials. The department offers programs at the under graduate, post graduate and doctoral levels with courses dedicated to the intersections of Gender, Spatiality, Ecology and Service Learning, exploring newer modes and fields of narratives and the concerns of these developments. We provide extension services and consultancies through our in-house Incubation Cell. Apart from academic writing, our faculty is graced by poets, novelists, translators and writers and most of us are connoisseurs of the Arts. We support Art and the Artists through festivals, deliberations and other avenues of creative partnerships. Our students are sojourners with us in this quest for Beauty and Truth… thoughts and ideas being the hope for the betterment of Self and Society, persuaded by Dostoevsky that ‘Beauty will save the world’ … the beauty of the human spirit, the relentless pursuit of truths in the hope eternal of a better world.

The dynamic bunch of faculty with expertise in fields like Literature, Films, Linguistics, Cultural Studies and Philosophy, impart a diverse and enriching experience to students. Through the two major programmes offered; namely, BA Psychology English and MA English with Communication Studies, the Department focuses on social engagement and provides key directions to fulfil the academic requirements of the students. Thus, it asserts an effective transformation of students to responsible beings trained to accommodate all varied challenges that they may face as part of their professional and academic endeavours. Students’ and Faculty’s commitment towards society is enhanced through internships, field projects and Service-Learning programmes in collaboration with NGOs and other responsible organizations in the locality. Annual Association Fest (Wisteria) and Annual PG Student Seminar (PRISM) opens up avenues and, moreover, contributes to establish connections with scholars and students of Literature and Cultural Studies across India. All such engagements by the Department aims at helping each student and faculty to master the skill of reading the ever-changing self and society.
