In an effort to promote inter-departmental teaching and learning collaboration, the Department of Political Science, Kohima College, organised a special lecture for the MA 3rd semester students on the topic “Herbert Marcuse: Critical Theory, Alienation & New Theory”.
The lecture was delivered by Assistant Professor Aosangla Longkumer from the Department of Sociology, Kohima College, who emphasised the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in understanding complex social and political ideas.
During her session, Longkumer provided deep insights into Marcuse’s critical theory, his interpretation of alienation, and how his ideas continue to influence contemporary sociological and political thought. She encouraged students to explore the intersections between sociology and political science to better grasp the philosophical underpinnings of modern social theory.
The session was well-received by the students, who actively engaged in discussion and appreciated the opportunity to view political theory through a sociological lens. The initiative reflects Kohima College’s ongoing commitment to fostering interdisciplinary learning and broadening academic perspectives among postgraduate students.
