The Masters Programme in English proposes to dismantle the hierarchy between British Literature and other literatures in English, including literatures in translation. It seeks to bring into focus the significance of literatures belonging to lesser known languages and regions. Strengthening the overall vision of Ambedkar University Delhi, this programme hopes to orient students towards engaged and reflective scholarship. A concern with social and literary margins will consistently guide the programme’s overall vision, philosophy and content. It is hoped that the programme’s ethical concern with linking education to the lives and struggles of individuals and communities will enable the students to form a holistic understanding of literature. It will also help them to develop deeper psychic, social and creative sensibilities. It is further envisaged that through this programme the students will develop a critical sensibility towards the larger politics of culture, society and state so that they actively and artistically interrogate and intervene within the givens of the hegemonic political and cultural order.
The programme integrates interdisciplinary paradigms to facilitate a greater amalgamation between various literatures, theory and practice on the one hand, and between music, dance, theatre, cinema, literature and visual arts, on the other. Students will be offered a wide range of inter-disciplinary courses which will help them situate literature in the context of other disciplines. To that end, some courses have been designed or envisaged as bilingual and/or multilingual.
In order to enable critical thinking, intervention and praxis, the programme will encourage engagement with the lesser known literatures and cultures in India and elsewhere. Students from a wide range of disciplines and not necessarily from humanities are encouraged to apply.
The two-year full time programme will comprise of 16 courses of 4 credits each, amounting to a total of 64 credits, including an optional dissertation. Each course will be of 16 weeks duration. The English Programme does not follow a core-optional model. In keeping with AUD’s emphasis on inter-disciplinary studies, students will be encouraged to opt for up to four courses from other programmes within the School of Letters or from any other schools of the university. Assessment will include term papers, class presentations, class discussions, class participation, workshops tests and assignments. Students will be provided with a detailed reading list for each course. Students will be strictly expected to attend and participate in all class discussions.
