Settlement Studies

The settlement studies are a field based study of 2 weeks every alternative semester. Different human habitations are visited in the course duration. These visits are formulated with 3 objectives - first, to train students into undertaking organised field work, collect data and undertake analysis of said data to make inferences and conclusions; second, to develop an interest and orientation towards looking at the field as a source of knowledge and of life in the students; and lastly, to sharpen the abilities of students to sense the field using their own senses as well as their analytical capacities.
