The Pathways Orientation Workshop

Feb 19th and 20th, 2010

The Higher Education Cell will conduct a two-day orientation workshop as part of its Social Justice Initiative,  for the faculty members of nine undergraduate colleges under the Ford Pathways to Higher Education Programme, on February 19 and 20, 2010. The workshop will involve a thematic orientation to issues of social justice in higher education, to understand these issues in the context of  law, culture and social conflict, and an examination of why existing efforts to address these issues have not been very successful. The second day will include a detailed orientation to the technological aspects of the programme, to be handled by the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Bangalore. Apart from this, the workshop will also have a group discussion on specific campus activities and research initiatives to be undertaken as part of the three-year programme.
