Daksh, the career fair at Christ University was organized on Nov 29 and 30 2016. This was a
combined effort of all the students from both first and second year MA Applied Sociology.
Our main aim was to promote the discipline of sociology as well as the course MA Applied
Sociology.
The fest was organized for a duration of two days . The stalls were displayed with several charts
which were made informative about the discipline as well as the course and scope that they offer in
the future . There were several charts that were portraying the scope of the subject and the subject
matter . Technical information about the subject was being displayed in these charts but converted
into simple languages so that people from non sociological or non social science students could also
understand what sociology is all about . We displayed the papers that we offer in the subject and
how they touch upon various disciplines and professions . We tried our best to portray or subject as a
subject that would give people the scope to enter purely social science spaces as well as
administrative and corporate spaces.
In the stall , we also conducted a quiz at the stall for whoever was interested and people who
answered a questions correctly were given prizes .
All the charts and other crafts that were displayed at the stall were all hand made by the students .
We did not colour print of the charts that were displayed . This was to portray our department as a
creative space where we all work together . Along with charts , models were also displayed to
explain social phenomenon in a creative way.
At the stalls , a lot of us were questioned about what the subject has to offer , How it is different
from social work and anthropology and how sociology can also give people a way into the
corporate world and its not meant for only the management and commerce students .
Our stalls were not only visited by social science students but was also visited by students from other
departments also and a lot of them seemed interested by what the subject is dealing with . Some of
the interactions with the people who visited the stalls were long discussions which provoked a lot of
thought. We made a lot of them question the choices they made in life and how these
have sociological implications . This was a very interesting exercise.
