The Department of English & Soft Skills organised a Faculty Development Programme entitled \u201cWorlds are Made by Words: Language and Construction of Power\u201d on Saturday the 11th of August 2018. Dr. Amit Ranjan, the Australia Awards Ambassador, a faculty at NCERT, Bhubaneswar,and an Indian English Poet delivered a series of lectures on the theme. He talked about how history was rewritten and reinterpreted and how language was used as a tool of power to subjugate the reality. He talked about how the theories of Darwin were used as a pseudoscientific tool to colonize the world and how the history always viewed the \u201cwhite man\u2019s burden\u201d as an approved norm.<\/p>\n

There was an interactive session on Australian Scholarships with students and research scholars following the lectures. It was followed by a poetry session hosted by Toastmasters Club in which he read excerpts from his newly published poetry collection Find Me Leonard Cohen I\u2019m Almost Thirty.<\/em> Many of the VIT-AP students read their poems. Faculty members, students and research scholars actively participated in the programme making it an interesting and highly interactive session.<\/p>\n
