Krea, this Week 

20 - 26  Sept 2025

 

A Roundup of the Kreaverse

With students occupied by exams last week, and a break following, campus activity was relatively quiet. Still, a few key highlights stood out. The Ethnographic Poster and Journal Exhibition featured impactful student work on themes such as memory, resistance, and trauma. A nature walk and birdwatching session, led by Dr Debankur Saha, encouraged ecological awareness on and beyond campus. Meanwhile, academic contributions continued steadily, with new publications emerging across disciplines.
