It takes as its launching pad the concerns growing from reflections on the emergence, since the 1990s, of the little social movements around the questions of caste, land, livelihood, survival, gender, sexuality, project-related displacement, forest rights, environment and ecology. These reflections take into account the cultural nature of the social sciences and the social nature of the human sciences and make a call to take a view from below from the disadvantaged perspectives of the marginalized castes, cultures, regions and genders. This view from below is important as it is discovered that some of the events that further the development of man and society have quite different, even opposite, effects upon social groups such as adivasis and dalits. To steer clear of ethnocentrism and reductionism, the Centre encourages interdisciplinary studies focusing on those objects and aspects neglected by disciplines in their attempts to maintain disciplinary boundaries and claims of respectability, scientificity, and objectivity. Drawing on the vision of an egalitarian society ensuring the dignity of the least in society, the Centre proposes to promote studies as well as creativity in art, literature, and culture. The Centre is constituted by a body of academics, research scholars, writers, artists, and aesthetes. The Centre’s objectives are: *· To encourage research studies on marginalized social groups * *· To publish monographs, working papers, theses, journals and books on oppressed communities * *· To develop research skills by conducting workshops on methodologies * *and skills of academic writing and presentation * *· To support writers from the marginalized communities to publish their writings * *· To promote works of art in music, drama, painting, sculpture, and films by artists from the margins * * * ANIL Anil Tharayath Varghese New Delhi-110058 INDIA Mobile - 09971170738 email - [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
