The Department of English enhances the interpretative and expressive skills of students in an intellectual environment that is stimulating and nurturing. It equips students with both a rigorous knowledge of the subject as well as a critical and analytical ability. It provides an engagement with issues as varied as identity formation, race relations, gender stereotypes and the politics of language. We teach language and literature and enable it to work not only upon functional elements of core communication but also to enable more complex and abstract forms of thinking. Our language and literature skills enable students to engage with the complex adult world of social and political engagements. The emphasis is on an interdisciplinary approach. The courses have been methodically designed to explore world literatures, Indian literatures and literatures in translation. The classes are lively, interactive spaces where students are encouraged to share their own perceptions, ask searching questions, and engage in discussions in an atmosphere that fosters self-expression balanced with respect for the right of others to voice their opinions. This spirit is nurtured in a changing classroom that has seen a widening of the student base to include students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and learning curves. In fact, this extreme diversity becomes a pedagogic tool since the faculty believe that validating the experiences of the diverse student body is an important aspect of the pedagogic goal in a Literature classroom that sees Literature not as an ivory tower product but a contextually produced and socially mediated process. The Department is privileged to have an extremely dynamic faculty whose expertise in critical theory has been widely acknowledged and whose creative writing has been published extensively.
