Career After Liberal Arts Education 

Bennett University

Date: April 06, 2021

For a long time, in the Indian education context, the thought process of parents and students alike, has been to study a program that guarantees a job at the end of the program. Professions like engineer, doctor, chartered accountant are sought after, for their guarantee of a well paying and successful career. 

But, what about those students who are not so sure about what they would like to pursue, or students who would like more flexibility in their education based on the various interests and passions they have. To those students we suggest a Liberal Arts Education.The aim of a Liberal Arts education is to develop well-rounded individuals with general knowledge of a wide range of subjects and with mastery of a range of transferable skills. A typical liberal arts degree program is interdisciplinary, covering topics within the humanities, as well as social, natural, and formal sciences. A liberal arts education builds students into open communicators, critical and creative thinkers.

Many other degree programs emphasize technical skills while neglecting vital competency. A liberal arts degree offers a wide range of highly sought-after skills, like effective oral and written communication skills, problem-solving, data analysis, effective research skills, ability to work in a team, self-confidence, foreign language skills and cross-cultural knowledge to name a few. But, as always, the question of careers and the ability to make a successful living always crop up. Is a LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION worth it? What are the CAREER PROSPECTS? 

To answer these questions and many more, please join the Bennett University “Careers After Liberal Arts Education” Webinar. The panel will consist of Dr Bashabi Fraser, Dr Benjamin Lamb, Dr Elisabetta Marino, and Dr Neil Fraser who will be interacting with the BA Liberal Art students at Bennett University.

Dr. Bashabi Fraser is Professor Emerita, and a former Professor of English and Creative Writing. Dr. Bashabi is also a Royal Literary Fund Fellow at the University of Dundee and an Honorary Fellow at the Centre for South Asian Studies at the University of Edinburgh.Dr. Benjamin Lamb joined Teesside’s Humanities Department in 2015. He has lectured in media theory at the University of East Anglia’s School of Arts, Media, and American Studies and the University of South Wales’ Faculty of Creative Industries.Dr. Elisabetta Marino is an Assistant Professor of English at University of Rome Tor Vergata. Dr. Neil Fraser is a Social Policy expert, Edinburgh University, Scotland.

To see where your passion and diverse interests can take you, join us on the 9th of April 2021 from 2:30 pm to 3:35pm. To Register, click on the link: bit.ly/3moO4I4

How Genome editing help in coping with food demand?     

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Date: July 3, 2019

The new technique, used to rewrite the genetic code, is a better alternative to enhance the quality and quantity of the crops, writes Deepa Khare.

World population is increasing exponentially and is expected to grow further. As a result, there has been a proportionate increase in food demand. To fulfill the burgeoning demand for food and nutrition, the yield and nutritional value of food crops need to be enhanced, that too, with limited agricultural land. During the past few decades, crop food productivity has been increased through genetic modifications (GM) utilizing GMO technology. However, due to the huge controversy over the acceptance of GM crops, there is an urgent need to use alternative biotechnological techniques. The better alternative of GM crops can be genome editing.

It is intriguing to understand the difference between GM crops and the genome editing of crops. The GM crops or commonly known as transgenic crops are generated from copying the required gene from an organism (either plants, animals or microbes) and pasting it in the crop that needs to be modified. Whereas, the genome editing is the editing of the existing genome as per the requirement. In simple words, genome which is DNA is the book and genome editing is the like editing the book by the editor to make it better for readers. Traditionally, genome editing was achieved using breeding, however, breeding takes years to get the expected change in the crop.

GM Organisms (GMOs) are widely used for medical applications. However, GM crops are yet to gain wide acceptance in the world. It is assumed that the DNA from the GM crops can be horizontally transferred to the non-GM crops. Some GM crops are produced using genes which produce toxic compounds against pest attack such as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crops.

On the other hand, genome editing seems to be a better alternative to GM techcrops. The new unique used for genome editing known as CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Inter Spaced Palindromic Repeats) coupled with Cas9 (a nuclease) is quite encouraging. It has been very successful for editing the genome of all organisms including the agricultural crops. Genome editing can be used to rewrite the genetic code according to the requirement without using transgene (a gene from a different organism).

No doubt there is an urge to improve the quality of the existing crops to enhance the yield and to resist several stresses including those caused by global warming. The improved crops are the only solution to fulfill the demand of the world to cope with hunger. Genome editing using the new technique is, therefore, a better alternative to enhance the quality and quantity of the crops. The Biotech program at Bennett University has implemented focussed R&D, designed exclusive lab facility for Genome Engineering and curricular activities such as core/elective courses and projects to utilize genome editing.
