Goals
Our goal is to offer our learning participants a vibrant academic environment with high-quality rigorous training through peer learning, field experience, critical engagement, and effective communication skills. Valuing liberal arts education, we seek to develop our Department as one of the leading entities in South-Asia where students will develop professional skills dealing local and global issues with an inquisitive mind and adequate subject-competence to cope with the rapidly changing world of the twenty-first century. We encourage interaction among policy-makers, planners and grassroots level activists focusing on collaborative research to facilitate mutual understanding for peaceful co-existence in society. Aspiring for cross-cultural appreciation our approach includes the globalization of local issues as well as the localization of global ones with special attention to contemporary Bangladeshi society.
