Sikh History & Punjabi Language
The Punjabi Studies Program promotes academic study of the Punjabi language, literature, culture, and intellectual traditions. The program emphasizes the importance of Punjabi as a living global language and provides students with opportunities to develop language proficiency while exploring the rich literary and cultural heritage of Punjab.
Students develop skills in speaking, reading, and writing Punjabi, including Gurmukhi script. The program also examines Punjabi literature, poetry, folklore, history, media, and cultural traditions. Students gain understanding of the linguistic and cultural significance of Punjabi within both South Asian and global diaspora communities.
This program is intended for students, heritage learners, educators, researchers, and anyone interested in learning Punjabi language and culture. It is particularly beneficial for second- and third-generation diaspora learners seeking to strengthen linguistic fluency and cultural connection.
