FIVE-DAY ONLINE FACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME happening from July 22nd to 26th, 2025, from 11:00 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. daily.

Why "Rethinking" is the New Essential!

The Humanities are undergoing a massive transformation. They're no longer confined to dusty archives and traditional texts. Today, they're being reshaped by technological change, pressing environmental challenges, evolving global dynamics, and an urgent emphasis on inclusivity and social justice. In this exciting, complex landscape, interdisciplinary approaches aren't just an option—they are

essential!

This FDP is designed to reimagine the Humanities through critical, decolonial, and truly interdisciplinary lenses. The goal? To equip you with the tools to integrate powerful insights from science, technology, environment, gender studies, media, and public policy into your teaching and research. Imagine developing contextually grounded, socially responsive pedagogies that truly prepare students for the complexities of the modern world!
