Department Society

The English Literary Society, run by the students of the Department of English, with some help from their teachers, organizes a range of interdisciplinary talks, seminars, lectures, film screenings, exhibitions, discussions and workshops through the year. These interactive, multimedia events encourage students to engage critically and creatively with ideas and issues connected with and also beyond the curriculum. Students are exposed to a vast range of subject experts drawn from a wide swathe of professions and field of interests – scholars, creative writers, artists, film makers, journalists, performers, activists etc—which help develop critical thinking as well as professional opportunities. 

Every year, a two-day Literary Festival is organized by the Literary Society. It comprises lectures and various events including the popular Kahwa Stop with participants from diverse colleges. The Society takes pride in the leadership and sense of ownership displayed by its student members in its activities and cherishes the celebration of plural voices that are generated in the process.
