BA in …

I have chosen this MA programme because it was the natural path for me, being very keen on English Literature in my BA studies. Have I made the right decision? We will see, but what I can state for now is a huge yes. Do you know the feeling when you finish a good book and you feel like you’ve learnt a lesson along with the protagonist? That is the feeling that I am chasing but on a bigger scale, and through this programme I hope I will achieve just that through a better understanding of a large number of different events and phenomena. But that requires shedding my old skin and being critical of my own sets of beliefs. My research interests lie in postcolonial studies and critical theory. My latest paper was a comparative analysis on Ben Okri’s “In Arcadia” and Chinua Achebe’s “Things Fall Apart.”
