SUMMARY:Reading Skills: Insights from a Historian
DESCRIPTION:Reading means something different for everyone. Each person develops their reading skills as per their requirements. Some read to find information while others read to mine information. Some read to learn\, and some read to laugh\, some read to be entertained and some to escape. From reading the labels on new products to newspapers to novels\, the objectives of reading can be plenty. \nThe Department of English is bringing Prof Manan Ahmed – Associate Professor\, Columbia University to shed light on the reading approach and the reading skills of a historian in an interesting and interactive session. \nDate: February 17\, 2022 \nTime: 07.00 pm IST \nAbout the Speaker: \nManan Ahmed\, Associate Professor of History at Columbia University in the City of New York\, is a historian of South Asia and the littoral western Indian Ocean world from 1000-1800 CE. His areas of specialisation include intellectual history in South and Southeast Asia\, critical philosophy of history\, colonial and anti-colonial thought. Two of his books The Loss of Hindustan: The Invention of India (2020) and A Book of Conquest: The Chachnama and Muslim Origins in South Asia (2016) are published by Harvard University Press. \nAbstract: \n“Reading Skills” brings to mind dreadful reading comprehension passages given in schools and courses in communication skills. However\, reading is much more about finding answers to given questions. It is about finding the questions to ask of a passage\, blog\, article\, literary texts\, and historical texts. In this talk and interaction\, Prof Manan Ahmed would walk us through a historian’s approach to reading. The programme is intended to be a part of the department’s larger initiative to organise interactions around “Language and Society” to address all kinds of conversations about language\, communication\, writing\, speaking\, thinking\, and at a deeper level\, about connecting with others.
