Jalandhar: Kanya Maha Vidyalaya has once again raised the benchmark of innovation by organising the KMV International Series (English Chapter), in which stalwarts of English language and literature from globally renowned international universities have been delivering lectures for students and faculty. KMV’s International Series is running at full swing and witnessing the attendance of over 100 participants who joined virtually through Zoom, Facebook. Continuing the same, the most recent lecture of the series was delivered by Prof. Roger Charles Nunn, Professor and Head of the Department of English, American University of Sharjah, UAE, who profusely admired KMV’s heritage of women empowerment and high academic standards. Dr. Nunn illuminated on the topic “Objectivity in Academic and Literary Discourse” highlighting the inevitability of the reader and writer’s bias in reading and analysing texts. Principal Prof. Dr. Atima Sharma Dwivedi averred that Dr. Nunn’s ideas on objectivity and subjectivity are extremely relevant and applicable to the roles of administrators, teachers, and students alike.
She further highlighted that this International series is an excellent example of how KMV relentlessly follows the tradition of progressive intellectual activities, maintains and upgrades its standards of excellence, fosters an environment of dynamic opportunities, and promotes a culture of life-long learning. Prof. Dwivedi expressed her gratitude to Dr. Nunn for sharing his perspectives on literature and announced lectures by an extraordinary lineup of globally acclaimed academicians and scholars slated in the upcoming weeks. She lauded the efforts of Dr. Madhumeet, Head, Department of English & the faculty of PG Department of English successfully organising the international series.
