temperament in school students. A fund of Rs.
10,000/- was sanctioned by GITAM

hygiene, good habits, awareness of nutrition,
developing self esteem, assertiveness,
management of time and stress, public speaking,
teamwork and leadership skills were held for
the benefit of the school students.
The workshop was expected to attract around
30 to 35 students as schools were closed for
summer vacation. However, on the initial day
itself, 45 students turned up for the workshop.
On the second day, the number of students
increased to 72. The students were divided into
two batches and parallel sessions were
conducted. The third day witnessed 92 students
and the fourth day, 94 students. On the fifth
day, 95 students turned up. The workshop

keenly participated in all the activities.

their creative talents. Charts and sketches were
provided and the students took part eagerly.
Some of these drawings are thought provoking
and exhibit social consciousness. After this
session, a valedictory was conducted and
certificates along with stationery essentials

University playground in which interested
students could participate (the logistics of
which are under discussion at the time of the
report submission). He also explained about
Swachha Bharat and invited the students to
collect saplings of Guava and Lemon to plant

Negotiating Spaces: English Literature and
Language Teaching
Two-Day National Conference 29 & 30
August 2019
Conference Report
The Two Day National Conference on
Negotiating Spaces: English Literature and
Language Teaching organized by the
Department of English, GITAM, Hyderabad
Campus commenced formally on 29th August,
2019.
In his opening remarks, Dr. T. Joseph Ratna
Jayakar, Convenor expressed that the theme of
the conference had been conceived in the light
of the technological advancements, changing
lifestyles and varying perceptions of the
stakeholders. He articulated that the
deliberations would open up spaces and offer
new methodologies for practical insights to
English literature and language teaching in the
classrooms.
The Hon. Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Prof. N. Siva
Prasad presided over the inaugural ceremony
and spoke on the importance of time and space,
a concept from Physics, as an engaging issue in
the teaching of modern English Literature and
Language and the need for Language
laboratories introduced by AICTE. He also
stated that technology and the fast-growing
culture is changing English language and
meanings. He wished the participants to bring
out the best teaching and learning inputs.
Speaking on the Future of Humanities, Prof. D.
Venkat Rao, HoD – Department of Literature,
EFLU, explained at length on the spaces to be
8
negotiated by teachers and researchers in
Literature. He stated that with the impact of
new technologies and changing lifestyles, there
is a need to teach literature in a non-European
way. He conveyed concern that the roots of
research are changing, and there is a danger
that telecommunication language will displace
discourse.
He shared his views that the Apex bodies are
contemplating the introduction of Liberal Arts
courses in the Universities. He opined that the
attitude of cultural inferiority internalized due
to colonial way of thinking should cease and our
traditional culture and identity should be
accepted to establish the fact that education in
humanities is for the future of all human beings.
On the same note, Dr. K Suneetha Rani, Plenary
Speaker from the Centre for Women’s Studies,
University of Hyderabad, spoke on Gender
Studies which are falling across academic
disciplines. She explained that there is a
tendency to undermine women’s studies from
all institutions as having some feminist
goals. The introduction of Choice Based Credit
System, she said, is leaving students in a conflict
of interest. Though there are various
parameters of CBCS in Higher Education to
promote borderless and interdisciplinary
studies, she exemplified that students are not
well motivated towards Gender Studies.
The plenary Speaker for Day 2, Prof. D. Murali
Manohar, HoD - Department of English,
University of Hyderabad, presented some
fascinating insights into the Design and
Development of curricular products for Higher
Education. Dr. Manohar expressed deep concern
and spoke extensively on the need for the
curriculum to be evaluated from time to time as
it sets the goal to students’ learning for career
and beyond. He commented that if students are
given credits based on their choice of subject,
course, content and the hours of teaching for a
single semester, the learning outcome of the
students will not help them achieve their goals
towards global education. In conclusion, Prof.
D. Murali Manohar voiced that the English
Departments should not suffer lateral and
vertical segregation.
Delivering his valedictory address, Prof. T. Vijay
Kumar, HoD, Department of English, Osmania
University, defined that in the backdrop of
changing technologies, negotiating space
interactions and behaviors in Literature
undeniably calls for a critical discussion. He
shared some profound reflections on real and
unreal spaces. Outlining physical and historical,
indigenous, diasporic spaces in the Literatures
of the world, Prof. Vijay Kumar focused on the
Cultural spaces in the Post-Colonial period. The
notion of cultural space is the fourth space
which people shared in urban spaces. Prof.
Vijay Kumar explained that the present-day
society had moved away from real areas to
unreal spaces. Quoting Foucault's three
imaginary spaces namely, utopia, dystopia, and
9
heterotopia, he said, they link with each other
but contradict the real spaces of society.
The program concluded with a vote of thanks
proposed by Dr. Prasanna Laxmi, Convenor of
the Two- Day National Conference.
Out of 45 participants who registered, 20
attended the conference. The conference
collected Rs.40,000/- through registration fee
and incurred Rs. 85,000/- as expenses. A book
of abstracts was published and a book of
proceedings will be published shortly.
A total of 16 papers (including joint papers)
were presented on the two days on diverse
topics by delegates from Tamil Nadu,
Uttarpradesh, Karnataka and Telangana. Four
III year students of GITAM were given an
opportunity to present their papers. Though
many presenters remained absent, a positive
feedback was received from the delegates who
were present.
