Our Faculty is uniquely qualified to challenge the student and develop these aptitudes. With advanced Degrees
from prestigious American, British, European and Indian Universities and in a range of specializations, they bring into classes and tutorials pedagogical approaches as extensive and various as the works you are expected to read and engage with. The tutorial practices in the Department are both rigorous and exciting. The extra- and co-curricular interface between faculty and students are an accepted and valued part of the learning experience at St. Stephens. The Poetry Society,
English Literary Society, Shakespeare Sabha, Shakespeare Society, and Fine Arts Society are only some of the avenues where the extra/co-curricular lives of our faculty and students take shape.
Page 36 of 116 BA. (HONOURS) HISTORY The study of History as an academic discipline is valued by those who wish to understand how our world has come to be the way it is. History can thus help us live
informed and meaningful lives, understand the problems afflicting our world and prepare for the challenges that we face in our times. Since it deals with all aspects of life, History is a comprehensive, multifarious and interdisciplinary subject by nature and provides both abroad and as well as nuanced view of our society. Students of History not only goon
to research and teach History, and train in archival, curatorial and archaeological work, they also find their study in History a valuable steppingstone fora wide array of
fields like the Civil Services, Politics, Law, Journalism and Media,
Business and Economy, Development Sector/Social Work, Writing and the Arts, Tourism, etc, all which require a good understanding of the world we live in.
The History Department at St Stephen’s College seeks to provide the knowledge and skills required for our students to mature into history- sensitive scholars and individuals who can take their place as responsible and public-minded citizens in our society and contribute to its well-being from whichever vocation they eventually choose to pursue.
