Awareness Session on Gate Exam for CSE Students
2026-01-21 07:30 - 2026-03-08 17:00 | SRM University-AP
Department of Literature and Languages, Easwari School of Liberal Arts, SRM University-AP, is organising Second International Conference on Breaking Barriers: Reimagining Centre – Margin Dynamics from Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Dec 17 & 18, 2025.
Breaking Barriers : Reimagining Centre – Margin Dynamics from Interdisciplinary Perspectives is an international academic conference that invites critical reflection on the enduring binaries of centre and margin in our contemporary world. The conference seeks to interrogate how entrenched hierarchies of power continue to influence structures of governance, identity, knowledge, and belonging. As global socio-political shifts expose the fractures of centralized authority, from geopolitical crises and algorithmic surveillance to gender-based violence and climate collapse, this conference asserts the urgency of thinking from and with the margins.
