Listen to Audio Record of CSSP Talk "The Constituency of Science and its Tryst with the University" delivered by Dr Avishek Ray, NIT Silchar

CSSP Talk on "The Constituency of Science and its Tryst with the University" was delivered by Dr. Avishek Ray, National Institute of Technology Silchar, on 20th November 2018.

Abstract: Through the process of colonisation, the university has become the standard model for higher education in modern India. This talk questions the normative status of the university and argues that its emergence has come at the cost of vernacular pedagogic cultures that existed outside modern frameworks of knowledge. It examines how the discourse of Science draws its legitimacy from the pedagogic model of the university.
