Certificate Course on “Voices from the Margins: Exploring Indigenous (Dalit and Tribal) Narratives”
Date: 15 Sep to 18 Oct 2025
The Department of English, Kristu Jayanti (Deemed to be Universities), Bengaluru, organised a 30-hour Certificate Course titled “Voices from the Margins: Exploring Indigenous (Dalit and Tribal) Narratives”. The course was coordinated by Dr. Anindita Chowdhury and Dr. Mary Raymer, Assistant Professors of Department of English. Conducted online via Zoom from 15th September 2025 to 18th October 2025, the programme was open to both internal and external participants, providing a dynamic platform for interdisciplinary learning and discussion.
The certificate course featured a series of engaging lectures and interactive sessions conducted by distinguished resource persons from reputed universities across the country. Through these sessions, the participants explored the evolution of indigenous and Dalit writings, oral traditions, resistance narratives, and the intersections of identity, caste, and culture in Indian literary discourse. The sessions provided participants with critical insights into the politics of representation, the aesthetics of subaltern literature, and the importance of reclaiming narrative spaces for marginalised communities. The 30-hour course proved to be an intellectually stimulating and transformative experience for the participants. It not only broadened their literary horizons but also sensitised them to issues of social justice, inclusion, and cultural diversity. The Department’s initiative continues to foster academic inquiry and research engagement through such multidisciplinary learning platforms.
