डॉ. बी. आर. अम्बेडकर विश्‍वविद्यालय दिल्ली Dr. B. R. Ambedkar University Delhi Established by The Government of NCT of Delhi

PhD English

Any student with a postgraduate degree from a recognized university and a minimum of 55% (or as per Ambedkar university rules) can apply for admission.

Eligibility

The distinguishing feature of the Research programme offered by the English faculty of Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) is that students shall be encouraged to pursue inter- or multidisciplinary research based on the assumption that concerns raised in literary texts often find resonances or analogies in other disciplines. The faculty shall make every effort to create an intellectual environment in which a researcher has the confidence and freedom to challenge canonically accepted critical positions and methodologies. The rationale behind any research undertaken in this programme shall be to understand how a literary or cultural text is profoundly influenced by art, politics, style, history, psychology, image-making, translations and technologies that define the spirit of the age in which literary production happens. Literary research in the contemporary world should, therefore, be inspired sometimes by present anxieties and discontents, sometimes by new areas of knowledge and visions of a different future; it should re-establish, for its own time and location, the truth or the enigma of any text; and, finally, it should claim its place in the same cultural and moral habitat in which other acts of reason and imagination take place

PO-1 Apart from the outcomes that are already listed, the English PhD programme seeks to train scholars in inter-disciplinary methodologies and engaged research

PO-2 It trains them in thorough understanding of the critical and theoretical paradigms related to their area of research

PO-3 It helps them develop an ability to read, question, and critically explore and formulate one's responses to all forms of cultural productions and the processes behind these productions.

Entrance Process

Eligibility: Any student with a postgraduate degree from a recognized university and a minimum of 55% (or as per Ambedkar university rules) can apply for admission. Entrance Examination: The written entrance examination shall evaluate a candidate’s research aptitude, capacity for critical thinking and the ability to write a coherent argument in English. A section of the entrance test will be based on the readings uploaded on the website.

Proposal: Candidates shortlisted on the basis of their performance in the entrance examination will be asked to submit a research proposal within a very short notice period after the admission test result is displayed on the website. They shall then appear for an interview which will be based primarily on their research proposal.

The Research proposal (2000-2500 words) should follow the following format:

1. Introduction: Research Area

2. Aims and Objectives

3. Research question 2

4. Existing Research in the area

5. Research Approach/Methodology

6. Bibliography A provisional admission to the PhD programme will be offered to candidates fulfilling the minimum requirements. The proposal will carry a weightage of 25%, the entrance examination 50% and the interview 25%.

Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur

The Literature division offers a wide variety of electives for the undergraduates and specialized courses for doctoral candidates in English. While drawing largely on the canonical and noncanonical texts in Anglo-American and World Literatures in English, these courses aim to train students in ways of negotiating various literary traditions and cultural diversity. Seeking to inculcate analytical and critical thinking skills in its learners, the Literature courses primarily expose them to literary texts and theories and thereby encourage lucid writing practices besides involving them in theatre, literary discussion clubs, and creative writing workshops. The doctoral students, especially, are acquainted with current areas of research as well as the latest theories and advancements in existing fields and thus are trained to be research scholars of high calibre and competent teachers.

The postgraduate teaching programme in Linguistics addresses issues of contemporary relevance in the field with emphasis on an interdisciplinary perspective on language. The Linguistics programme at this institute is perhaps the only one in the country that offers a variety of courses at the undergraduate level. Apart from introducing students to the issues of language structure and use, Linguistics courses sensitise them to a variety of issues concerning cognitive underpinnings of language and language-society interface.

The ELT stream offers postgraduate courses in syllabus development, applied linguistics, second language acquisition and language assessment among others. The focus is on teaching English in Indian contexts. The undergraduate courses focus on advanced language skills such as academic reading and writing, and also introduce basics of second language acquisition theories.

All three streams pool their resources together in offering the undergraduates instruction in English Language and Communication Skills, Communication Skills: Composition, and Preparatory English for those who come from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The English Discipline has a dynamic research programme.

The Literature faculty currently focuses on the following research areas:

African American Literature
American Literature
The Anthropocene Literature
British Literature
Climate Fiction and Films
Cultural Studies
Cyberpunk Literature
Dalit Literature
Feminist Theory and Literature
Film Studies
Indian Literature and Aesthetics
Indian Writing in English
Jewish Literature
Literature and the Environment
Literature in Translation
Modernist/Postmodernist Theory and Literature
Postcolonial Theory and Literature
Posthuman Theory and Literature

The research carried out by the literature faculty in these areas focuses on the cultural, historical, theoretical, pedagogical, and textual perspectives. Insights that accrue from such scholarship invigorate both our undergraduate and graduate literature courses by ensuring that instruction is informed by the most current and relevant disciplinary knowledge.

The Linguistics faculty focuses on the following research areas:

Cognitive Linguistics
Discourse Semantics
Generative Grammar
Language Acquisition and Evolution
Lexical Semantics
Computational Linguistics
Sociolinguistics
South Asian Linguistics
Language Documentation and Description
Linguistic Typology
Dravidian Linguistics
Historical Linguistics

The ELT faculty focuses on the following research areas:

Instructed second language acquisition
Syllabus design
Task-based language teaching and learning
Language assessment

The research in these areas focuses primarily on English as a second language in Indian contexts. An attempt is made to draw on theories of linguistics and education and apply them to pedagogic contexts. The ELT faculty is involved in supervising research in applied linguistics, classroom-based language assessment, task-based language teaching and its interface with current developments in linguistics and education, form focus in ESL contexts, etc.

The English discipline as a whole involves itself with various administrative responsibilities and initiatives consistent with a programme of academic counselling, student support and faculty governance.
