About the Department

Established in 1972, the Department of English focuses on providing a humanistic perspective to the study of language and literatures. Over the years the department has evolved as a centre for critical and creative thinking, fostering literary sensibilities, and providing a platform for open dialogues. The curriculum of English courses is shaped as a response to the contemporary challenges in the society, both cultural and professional, and introduces students to different literatures across genres and cultures. Some of the pioneering courses offered by the institution include media literacy, understanding development narratives, debates in the history of ideas covering language, caste, nation, business, politics and technology, debate and argumentation, academic writing, and thinking creativity.

Vision

To be a dynamic centre of literary and cultural inquiry that nurtures critical thinkers, creative communicators, and socially conscious individuals committed to building a just, secular, and democratic society, especially in service of the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalised.

Mission

To provide a humanistic, interdisciplinary study of language and literature that combines academic excellence with ethical responsibility and service to others.
We foster critical thinking, creativity, and articulate expression through innovative pedagogy and a curriculum responsive to contemporary cultural, social, and professional contexts.
We cultivate media literacy, analytical skills, and purposeful scholarship that empower graduates to live generously and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Message From HOD

Dr. Neeti Roy, Head of Department

The world that we inhabit is the world that we have created and it is in our ability to transform it. Such an idea might be considered as utopian, but it is great literature that preserves and nurtures such utopias. An engagement with literary and artistic texts is what makes a society self-reflexive and humanistic. Regardless of the academic or industrial expertise one may pursue, it is the relationship with narratives that shapes the selfhood of individuals. It is through narratives that we form our individual and collective identities. Engagement with narrative and poetic imagination is crucial not only to make sense of our lives, but also to relate to others. An ability to empathize with others is developed through an immersion into the imaginative world, much like Scheherzade reforming the mad king by telling stories every night and altering his sense of the ‘self’ bit by bit until he emerged as an enlightened being. The Department of English at SJCC believes in this ability of imagination and seeks to nurture it through all that we do.
