Department of Humanities and Social Sciences is going to hold MHRD/AICTE Sponsored Winter School on Critical Thinking, Reading & Writing Skills: Learning to Think, Read and Write the Modernist Way for the year 2010
This course aims to enhance the existing critical thinking, reading and writing skills of the faculty of English in various AICTE sponsored Engineering colleges and other Institutes of excellence across India by enabling them to explore the unique fashion of thinking, reading and writing practiced by the modern continental thinkers. These explorations shall yield new insights, which shall open up exciting horizons in Literary and Communication Studies enabling the faculty of English/Humanities from various Institutes to reorient their current strategies of knowledge-dissemination
In order to open up new sites in thinking, reading and writing, this course has been divided into four sections.

The second section intends to interrogate contemporary issues through the lens of modern critical thinking. The third section intends to provide reading exercises from modernist perspectives, and the final section explores new possibilities in modern critical writing.
