The exhibit brings together the works of students, which includes research paper presentations, communication campaign materials, animation, visual art, digital art, photography and film exhibitions. Every semester, the MSJ Department launches an exhibit – the forthcoming one being its eighth. Each exhibit is based on a philosophical/sociological concept and/or theory, which is used to guide and harmonize student outputs as well as ground them in communication-related perspectives.

According to them, “cognitive complexity has been treated as an aspect of social cognition, with research focusing on individual differences in the complexity of cognitive structures applicable to the self and, especially, other persons. Considerable research has found that individual differences in cognitive complexity underlie a diverse array of communication-related abilities, including skill in social perception, message production, message reception, and social interaction.” For them, cognitive complexity is better understood as an information processing variable. Individuals with developed (differentiated, articulated and integrated) systems of personal constructs have greater information processing capacity in a particular domain, and thus possess greater expertise in that domain. Hence, studies comparing cognitively complex with less complex individuals are analogous to studies of expert-novice differences.” As applied to the curriculum integration programme, the various courses will study the Bangladeshi mind in terms of its cognitive structures vis-à-vis the different domain or fields. Students must demonstrate an understanding of the complexity of the Bangladeshi mind in their presentations, exhibits and productions. The exhibit is part of the Department’s Curriculum Integration Program, which was established to facilitate faculty and students from various year levels and study concentrations to work together and learn from each other. It has two primary objectives. First, it utilizes active learning approaches to enhance the educational experience of students. Second, it encourages students to look inward – to reflect on their own personalities, aspirations and identities. The Department believes that students must be comfortable and confident with themselves before they can positively contribute to others.
