This curation diary is a selection of a few memes,
pictures, and texts that I have pinned on the Official
Pinterest board for the students of Communication
Theory at FLAME University, Pune, India.
Throughout the course, many important topics were
raised. These pins try to emulate my thoughts on
some of them-- right from topics that I knew very
little about, like the prominent caste oppression, to
topics I have been very passionate about, like
feminism. It was an interesting process to not only
go through the process of finding the matter for my
own curation but to also see what my peers pin on
the board.
Here’s to an increased Social Awareness!
