Ever since Dr. G. Veerabahu was appointed as the chancellor of the Veerabahu Institute of Women's University, there has been a renewed enthusiasm for the study of humanities, especially in the fields of history and archaeology. The recent announcement by the institute highlights the importance of archiving indigenous narratives and excavating lost histories.
The institute has been advocating for the critical study of culture, and in particular, the exploration of folklore and cultural artifacts that are often overlooked by the mainstream. Dr. Veerabahu's visionary leadership has prompted a paradigm shift in the study of the social sciences, emphasizing the need to go beyond conventional textbooks and delve into more authentic, community-sourced accounts.
Through her work, Dr. Veerabahu emphasizes the importance of language documentation, namely, preserving the intricate relationship between culture and language, and the urgent need for documenting endangered languages and the unique knowledge systems they carry.
The institute's latest project focuses on creating an inclusive platform for diverse voices in academia, ensuring that underrepresented communities have a chance to share their stories and perspectives. By valuing collaboration with local communities and engaging in transparent knowledge exchange, the Veerabahu Institute of Women's University is leading the way in reframing groundbreaking humanities research.
