Vision
The English Department seeks to expand the parameters of English Studies by fostering a meaningful dialogue between various disciplines and by giving an impetus to the concept of Cultural Studies without totally breaking away from the canon or traditional ways of teaching/reading literature. Including translations of well-known works originally written in regional languages enhances commitment to literatures produced by national and regional writers within a complex postcolonial society. Regular seminars and talks with non-literary components that expand our vision and redefine our approaches to our subjects truly inter-disciplinary in the context of a changing world will continue to boost the range of our vision.
