The course seamlessly blends English literature with digital tools, providing a deep understanding of both traditional literary concepts and modern digital methodologies. I have understood complex subjects through the incorporation of CIAs, which was simplified by infusing them with creative elements. Through tasks like multimedia presentations and digital storytelling, the program ensures that I, not only grasp theoretical concepts but also develop practical skills relevant to the digital age. This program not only gives me a hands-on knowledge of literature and digital humanities but also has also built creativity and critical thinking in my approach, through the innovative teaching methodologies.

I find that the course extends beyond the conventional boundaries of Humanities studies, making it highly relevant to modern societal and professional contexts. The inventive curriculum design has pushed me beyond mere theoretical learning, involving me through diverse methods like storymapping and daily blog assignments, ensuring my continuous participation. I have been fortunate enough to be able to attend the frequent and innovative workshops of the course, which have been instrumental in solidifying my understanding, effectively showcasing the tangible influence of Humanities in real-world scenarios.

I thoroughly enjoyed delivering a lecture on ‘An Introduction to Text Mining’ at Christ University, Lavasa. The MA in English in Digital Humanities at Christ University, Lavasa, is a promising program that reflects the needs of contemporary digital society and culture. The integration of DH in academic programs not only prepares students for the evolving landscape of the digital era but also contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge in the humanities.

I conducted two sessions with the faculty members and newly admitted students of the MA in English with Digital Humanities (MA EDH) programme at Christ University Lavasa. The first, on digital tools for creative writing, engaged faculty members, emphasizing open, AI-driven resources for improved classroom interaction. The second session was jointly conducted with my colleague at IIT Jodhpur where we deliberated diverse career prospects that may be offered to the MA EDH students, covering industry and academic/alt-academic options. Throughout, Dr. Richa Shristi and her team offered consistent support. Christ University Lavasa’s MA in English with Digital Humanities programme is unique as its focuses on traditional literary studies reimagined through the DH lens, crucial in today’s world. I congratulate Dr. Srishti’s team for guiding learners towards new career opportunities and look forward to future collaborations.

I visited CHRIST University, Lavasa Campus in order to interact with the faculty and students, mainly from the humanities, on the emerging discipline of Digital Humanities. I found both the students and teachers quite inquisitive and probing. I faced a lot of quality questions and enjoyed replying to all. The administration and the host department were quite cordial and they enthusiastically acquainted me with the academic plans and projects they plan to undertake. I was particularly impressed by the commitment of Dr Richa, the Head of the Department. The ambience, hospitality, and cordiality was par excellence! I would be happy to visit the campus again!
