Centre for Writing Studies organises events

 
In October 2025, the Centre for Writing Studies (CWS) organised a series of lectures, screenings, workshops, and collaborative sessions.
On October 1, it held a session titled Voice in Academic Writing as part of the CWS Listening Session Series curated by Prof Shubhasree Bhattacharyya. The session featured Dr. Shivani Kapoor from the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS), Delhi, as a guest speaker. The CWS Listening Sessions focus on artistic and academic research practices alongside the idea of the text as an intermedial and interdisciplinary site of listening and understanding.
The CWS Film Screenings of the month included Everything, Everywhere All At Once (October 8), Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World (October 22), and Cloud Atlas (October 29). The screenings were coordinated by Prof Mohammad Sayeed.
On October 14, CWS faculty contributed to the IDEAS Methods-Lab on Researching the Contemporary through both presentation and pedagogy. Prof Diksha Narang presented her paper Poverty as a Methodological Challenge of Coherence.

In a workshop titled Writing the Field: Lens, Contours and Processes, Prof. Jyoti and Prof. Shachi Seth set up the theoretical methodological concerns which complicate notions of the "field", and briefly discussed how they reflected in research experiences of the participating scholars, and analysed excerpts from existing ethnographic writing to open up gestures of writing the field.

At the JSAA Faculty Research Colloquium held on October 16, Prof Shachi Seth presented her paper Machines of Paper. On October 30, Prof. Pankaj Challa organised the Creative Writing Workshop.
