The School of Liberal Studies(SoLS),through its transdisciplinary approach, aims to create a unique pedagogical model & break the silos of conventional learning
that an environment of crossdisciplinary research & opportunity for students to pursue undergraduate training in allied disciplines should be encouraged.
It will hold them in good stead if students pursue a dual BSc degree in allied disciplines, such as Political Science& History
Professors’ @himmijha & @rohitduttaroy in their latest op-ed reflect on the past,present & future of LiberalStudies in India.Underlining the philosophy of SoLS, they argue that LiberalStudies does not mean aping the West & diluting the disciplinary foundations.They hold the view+
of Uttarakhand.
The students also visited major Ashokan rock edict at Kalsi,to understand the importance of historical and political geography,and strategic culture of institutional pluralism,in making sense of an edict placed miles away from the Mauryan capital at Pataliputra.
School of Liberal Studies @UPESDehradun is focused on fieldwork-driven empirical pedagogy.The foundational course on “Ideas of India”taught by Professor @rohitduttaroy is anchored in the same philosophy of learner-centered teaching.
Learning beyond classrooms enable the students+
to gain handson knowledge through objects of material culture in museums and archaeological sites. As part of their fieldwork,students visited ZonalAnthropologicalMuseum and learnt about the cultural practices and craft traditions of Tharu, Jaunsari,Bhotiya,Buksa and Raji tribes+
