About
English Literary Society is an experience for minds which crave intellect, insight, and adventure. The society holds discussions via workshops, seminars and panels, dissecting ideas, challenging interpretations, and unravelling implicit layers in both classic and contemporary works. It conducts outdoor sessions where, the members of the society take the words off the page: with poetry and picnics under open skies, and literature walks where stories meet the world beyond walls. Through film-related activities, the society explore film adaptations, discuss their nuances, and create original pieces which are inspired by aesthetics of cinematic experience. For students with a passion for writing, we aim to host sessions to sharpen voices and stir new ideas. This is a space to explore literature and live it, breathing life into every uncovered tale.
Inkspire is headed by faculty members from the department by rotation. The present conveners of the society are:
1. Dr. Guntasha Kaur Tulsi
2. Dr. Akhilesh Kumar
