dents. Besides core (compulsory) courses for each programme, the students also have the option to choose
courses of their own interest from the elective courses.

In framing the courses, proper care is taken to avoid over-emphasis on formal lectures alone. There is ade-
quate provision for laboratory works, seminars, tutorials, case studies, guided field work, etc., wherever appro-
priate, to inculcate the spirit of independent thinking and enrich hands-on experience. Group discussion is an
integral part of the curriculum in some of the programmes.

on the basis of continuous internal assessment through class tests, assignments, term-papers, seminars and
term tests.

Grades signify the level of standard of qualitative/quantitative academic achievement, which the students
attain in a particular course/ research work. Each of the letter grades represent a Grade Point as tabulated
below. The letter grades A+ to D are considered as Pass grades and F is considered as Fail grade.

CULTURAL STUDIES
(Year of Establishment: 1996)

The department was started in 1996 as the Department of Traditional Culture and Art forms, and was re-
named in 2002 as the Department of Cultural Studies. It is one of the few departments in the country devoted
exclusively to the academic pursuit of Cultural Studies. A truly twentieth century discipline, Cultural Studies
initially emerged in Great Britain and later on in conjunction with developments in the United States , evolved
into a vibrant interdisciplinary approach in the understanding of society, culture and expressive forms associated
with human behaviour across a wide range of disciplinary engagements. Asia is fast emerging as an important
location where methods evolved in Cultural Studies is used to interrogate disciplinary approaches in an attempt
to promote a discursive understanding of various issues like ethnicity, migration, national and nationalistic
assertion, gender and society, media generated cultural forms, environment and development, and emerging
lifestyle patterns. The Department of Cultural Studies at Tezpur University mediates global concerns and
theoretical approaches of the discipline with issues that is of local importance and promotes an understanding of
the rich cultural heritage and the ingrained plural nature of the region, the folk and oral inheritance and ethnic
and cultural assertions amongst others. PhD scholars in the department are drawn from an array of disciplines
and include a number UGC, JRFs and NET qualified candidates. The University awards institutional fellowships
to deserving non JRF candidates to pursue their research.

I know why the caged bird sings

A free bird leaps on the back
Of the wind and floats downstream
Till the current ends and dips his wing
In the orange suns rays
And dares to claim the sky.

But a BIRD that stalks down his narrow cage
Can seldom see through his bars of rage
His wings are clipped and his feet are tied
So he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
Of things unknown but longed for still
And his tune is heard on the distant hill for
The caged bird sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze
And the trade winds soft through
The sighing trees
And the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright
Lawn and he names the sky his own.

But a caged BIRD stands on the grave of dreams
His shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
His wings are clipped and his feet are tied
So he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with
A fearful trill of things unknown
But longed for still and his
Tune is heard on the distant hill
For the caged bird sings of freedom.
