How do we make sense of the society around us? Where does common sense end and academic ‘wisdom’ begin? Are they disparate categories, or do they flow un/comfortably into each other? An academic programme in Liberal Arts helps students begin their scholarly journey with these inquisitions before foraying into deeper and more extensive questions. Towards this end, a BA degree in Liberal Arts from SRM University-AP takes a dynamic learning approach enabling one to think from diverse disciplinary perspectives from Anthropology, Media Studies, Philosophy, Political Science, and Sociology, amongst others. It has invariably encouraged scholars to think critically to understand the complex society around us- through the intermeshes of the intricate patterns of Indian society. It is with this lens that global phenomena such as nationalism, geopolitics, globalisation, climate change and environmental conservation are looked at and understood.
