HONOURS COURSES - HISTORY

Moving beyond the intrinsic value of studying the past to satisfy one's curiosity about humanity, the Department emphasizes an analytical and comparative approach that builds skills and knowledge indispensable for any career. It inculcates in students a broad interdisciplinary perspective. The faculty members comprise experts in Indian, European and American History as well as Women's Studies.

Some members of the faculty have conducted path-breaking research in subaltern studies. The annual meet ANTIQUITY attracts participation and paper presentations from several colleges and universities. Pedagogic practices break from conventional modes to include heritage walks, visits to national museums and screening of movies followed by discussions. The course is an excellent preparation for careers in teaching, law, bureaucracy, and museum administration. Contemporary historiography is a department specialization.
