A STUDY ON THE EFFICACY OF ILLUSTRATED TALES IN ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE TO CHILDREN
(ProQuest, 2023) Kaviya, Kathiresan; Narasingaram, Jayashree
Children of today are scarcely aware of climate change, while already growing up facing the effects of it. As citizens and future policy makers, it becomes essential for children to be informed of the threat and procedures to mitigate it. However, studies show that most children are not introduced to climate change in their primary years, be it at home or school. One of the many modes available to effectively and non-violently teach climate change is through illustrated tales, which has an ideal blend of illustrations and text. This study explores the potency of these tales through a case study done among twenty children aged between three and fourteen.
ETHNICISM IN LANGSTON HUGHES’S SELECT POEMS
(Pursuits, 2015-08) Thangamani C S; Narasingaram, Jayashree
Ethnicism is a form of nationalism wherein the nation is defined in search of ethnicity. It is based on the members of the nation who descend from that particular ethnic group. In such nations, ethnic minorities struggle to get their identity. Langston Hughes is an African American poet, essayist, columnist, lyricist and novelist. He wrote many poems and among those, “As I Grew Older” and “Let America Be America Again” deal about Hughes’ dreams about America. These poems speak about the ethnicism for the minorities of America.
