Surya Green speaks in Kolkata, India, in November 2009
Surya Green has been invited to participate in a two-day workshop on “Creativity in Education”
on 14 and 15 November at the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture in Kolkata, India.
She will speak on “Educating for the Everyday Examined Life.”
Established in 1938, the Institute has one main study: culture.
The Institute’s wide field of cultural interest embraces not only Indian culture,
but “that culture which is the common heritage of all mankind and to which every race and religion
has made its own contributions.” Only such a study “will provide the necessary psychological
background to the cementing process which technology has initiated between the races of mankind.”
The Institute’s large number of departments includes a School of Languages,
a large general library, a Publication Department, and a Center for Indological Studies and Research.
The universities of Calcutta, Jadavpur, Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda University, Burdwan
and Visva-Bharati recognize the Institute as a center for learning and research.
The Indian Council of Social Science Research, the Indian National Science Academy,
Rashtriya Sanskrit Samsthan, and the Indian Council of Philosophical Research, New Delhi,
also recognize the Institute as a center for research.
