Lying on the moist soil with my hands under my head, I was almost content with my garden, almost because I was only wishing, stubbornly like a child my age would, for that one corner to be housed with the summer dream of a mango tree; after all, I shared history with such a tree.

Message From The Centre Chair
The Centre has long served as an important intellectual space where students and scholars engage critically with society, culture, and contemporary challenges. Beyond classrooms and formal academic requirements, it nurtures curiosity, dialogue, and a spirit of inquiry that encourages us to look beyond the obvious. The Centre’s strength lies not only in the knowledge it imparts but also in its ability to foster meaningful conversations that bring together diverse perspectives and experiences.
In this regard, Eroteme occupies a special place. As a student newsletter, it provides a platform for voices that may not always find expression in conventional academic writing. It allows students to reflect, question, experiment with ideas, and engage with issues that matter to DR STEPHEN PAMEI
Chairperson Centre for Sociology and Social Anthropology them. A publication such as Eroteme enriches our intellectual life by creating a shared space for dialogue and reflection. I hope it continues to evolve into a vibrant forum where students contribute thoughtfully, challenge assumptions, and build a community of critical thinkers who are attentive to the complexities of the world around them.
The significance of Sociology and Social Anthropology today cannot be overstated. We live in a time marked by rapid social change, technological transformation, political polarization, environmental uncertainty, and growing inequalities. Understanding these developments requires more than statistics or policy prescriptions; it demands careful attention to human experiences, social relationships, cultural meanings, and structures of power. Sociology and Social Anthropology equip us with the tools to examine how societies function, how identities are formed, and how communities respond to change and conflict.
At a moment when societies are increasingly interconnected yet deeply fragmented, these disciplines remind us of the value of empathy, critical thinking, and contextual understanding. They encourage us to listen carefully, question responsibly, and engage thoughtfully with the social world. In doing so, they remain indispensable for both academic inquiry and the pursuit of a more inclusive and informed society.
