Kohima: Dr. Subhashis Banerjee and Prof. Nigamananda Das traveled to Isparta, Turkey, to represent the Nagaland University Department of English. The pair delivered an invited talk at the 12th International Conference on Language, Literature and Culture held between October 21 and 24. Scholars gathered from around the globe for the event. The conference was run in partnership with Bournemouth University, England.
Dr. Banerjee focused his session on the Environmental Humanities. He specifically studied the poetry of Jibanananda Das. He argued that the poet’s focus on flora and non-human life forces a new look at human identity and nature. During his lecture, he explored the “ecological turn of human subjectivity” to explain these connections. The work cements the department’s role in international ecocritical literary studies.
