Department of Economics recently organised an expert talk on Gender in Development Discourse by renowned expert Dr Sangita Dutta. The event was a great success, with students and faculty members engaging in a stimulating discussion on the role of gender in international development.
Dr Dutta shared her valuable insights and research findings on how gender dynamics impact development outcomes. She highlighted the importance of addressing gender inequalities and promoting gender equality in all aspects of development work.
The event served as a platform for students to broaden their understanding of gender issues and learn from an esteemed expert in the field. We are grateful to Dr. Sangita Dutta for her enlightening talk and look forward to more such enriching events at SRM University-AP.
Abstract:
Development discourse has undergone significant changes in recent years, and there is a need to contextualise gender in development discourse. Gender is no longer an equity concern. It is important for the three pillars of development governance- equity, efficiency and sustainability. There has been a shift from growth paradigm to the holistic sustainability approaches. UN Sustainable Development Goals are the cornerstones of global development governance and Gender Equality (SDG5) is one of the goals to be achieved by 2030. The concept of Women in Development or WID emerged in the early 1970s. The rationale behind the concept was that women can contribute productively to the economic development of any country. The main objective was to show the synergy between involving women and economic growth. One of the important issues was equal employment opportunities for women. The concept of Gender in Development or GID developed in the 1980s which was a holistic approach. Gender mainstreaming as a strategic approach to gender equality gained attention after the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action in 1995. Gender mainstreaming mandates integration of gender perspectives in all policy formulations, programs, and projects. In this context, Dr Dutta Gupta will discuss some of her research papers in gender and their role in development discourse.

Stanford Professor Thomas Blom Hansen to Deliver UDL #18
2024-04-04 11:00 - 12:30 | Mini Auditorium
The quest for knowledge can only lead to unparalleled success when the journey is guided by ethical morality and societal understanding. To achieve this, a sound liberal arts education proves imperative to nurture a young generation of ethically, morally and socially sensitive individuals. SRM University-AP is set to host the 18th edition of the University Distinguished Lecture on April 04, 2024. Prof. Thomas Blom Hansen, Reliance-Dhirubhai Ambani Professor & Department Chair, Department of Anthropology, from Stanford University, USA, will deliver the session on “Interiority Design: Liberal Arts Education in India”.
Join the talk to hear our distinguished speaker, Prof. Hansen deliberate and explore the complexities of liberal arts education in India!
About the Speaker
Prof. Thomas Hansen is a renowned anthropologist of political life, ethno-religious identities, violence and urban life in South Asia and Southern Africa. He is a leading academician exploring the religious and political violence in India. He has conducted extensive research in India focusing on Hindu nationalism, religious identities, religious revival and the everyday meanings of freedom.
He has written various books such as The Saffron Wave, Democracy and Hindu Nationalism in Modern India (Princeton 1999), and Wages of Violence: Naming and Identity in Postcolonial Bombay (Princeton 2001).
Abstract
In the past decade and a half, the liberal arts model of undergraduate education has become all the rage across India and other parts of Asia. In this lecture, Prof. Hansen will explore the origin of the liberal arts model in Enlightenment Europe, how it travelled to America, and how it became inextricably tied to an idea of the cultivation of a modern self, capable of autonomous, individual interior reflexivity and judgment, while framed as an invitation to join a larger national community. In this lecture, he will question: How does this model of education and self-formation sit with inherited traditions of education in India? How does its implied model of interiority and individuality sit alongside hierarchical ideas of the self and personhood structured by caste hierarchies in India? Does the idea of liberal arts education pave the way for a different and more capacious vision of what modern India might become?

The Significance of Socially Relevant Science Education and Research
2024-10-04 15:30 - 16:30 | Board Room, Homi J Bhabha Block
The Department of Mathematics is organising the 10th Distinguished Lecture on the topic “Science and Mathematics Education: Whose Science, for Whom?” on October 04, 2024. Distinguished academician Prof. R Ramanujam from Azim Premji University, Bengaluru, will deliver the esteemed session on the significance of integrating science and research education into university and school curricula to ensure that education is accessible to all sections of society.
Abstract
What do mathematics and science education mean to a student from socially and economically marginalised sections? We raise such questions and discuss our experiences in school education (in association with Tamil Nadu Science Forum and some government curriculum bodies), in teacher education (at Azim Premji University, Bengaluru) and in education research (with HBCSE, Mumbai) from this viewpoint. We point to the extensive need for socially rooted education research as well as for decisions in curriculum-making based on research.
About the Speaker
Professor R. Ramanujam is an eminent mathematician who earned his PhD from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and completed post-doctoral work at City University of New York (CUNY), USA. He has a long-standing association with the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc), Chennai, and is currently a visiting professor at Azim Premji University. His research focuses on logic, automata theory, and complexity theory. He is deeply involved in mathematics education and has contributed to national educational frameworks. Notable awards include the Indira Gandhi Prize for Science Popularization in 2020.
