The Centre for Writing and Communication engages in a range of media activities for expanding and deepening its engagement with the Ashoka Community and beyond. Through our social media channels we cover a diverse range of extra-curricular and creative activities such as CWCRecommendations, a Podcast Back to the Tutor, Shelf Pick and Insta-Live sessions. We also share posts on writing inspiration and motivation, eminent scholars, poets & authors, and our teaching & research activities.
#CWCRecommendations: The series include book and film recommendations from our team. Recent recommendations include International Day of Dog, International Day of Peace, and New Year and Spring Time Recommendations.
#Back to the Tutor: Podcasts on Writing and Communication with our tutors, prominent scholars and professionals. Recent conversations include Prof. Rita Kothari and Prof. Mahesh Rangarajan.
