Framing Perspectives: Literary and Cultural Narratives for Sciences

Framing Perspectives: Literary and Cultural Narratives for Sciences is a Value Added Course (VAC) textbook for fourth-semester undergraduate students, designed to support holistic learning beyond core scientific studies. Through four thoughtfully structured modules—Human Rights, Professional Ethics and Scientific Temper, Understanding Gender, and Mindfulness—the book uses literary texts, essays, speeches, and visual media to foster critical thinking, ethical awareness, empathy, and social responsibility. It encourages learners to engage deeply with human values and develop a balanced, reflective, and inclusive perspective on modern life.
