The 4th World Conference on Women’s Studies 2018

The International Institute of Knowledge Management (TIIKM) welcomes you to the 4th World Conference on Women’s Studies (WCWS 2018) to be held on the 03rd – 05th May, 2018 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The Conference will witness the participation of the Academicians, Universities, Professionals and Industry Experts gathering on a single platform to discuss about Women and their rights in global context.

CALL FOR PAPERS

As Women’s Studies scholars, teachers, and activists, it is our mission to resist backward movements and chart pathways forward. This year’s conference theme addresses the future of Women’s Studies, by highlighting the importance of bridging gaps between academia and practice, translating theory into meaningful and sustainable change, and exploring new understandings of persisting grievances, such as violence against women. Moreover, as we consider how to chart pathways forward, we are challenged to consider the ethics of conducting research on women and gender-diverse subjects, sharing other women’s stories, and reflecting on our own positionality throughout this process.

Bishnu Raj Upreti,
Academic Partner

As one of the members of the academic partners (A research organisation called Kathmandu based Nepal Centre for Contemporary Research) of the 4 th World Conference, I had change to intimately engage in the evaluation of abstracts/papers, chairing of sessions and commenting/evaluating the presentations. Participation of researchers, academics, policy makers and practitioners around the world made this conference not only unique but also provided opportunities theoretical, conceptual, and methodological and policy debate; space for cross learning, sharing and establishing networks for further cooperation. I am immensely impressed with the excellent management of venue, arrangement of contents, logistics and overall administration of the conference. This conference is globally unique and especial to people working on women and gender studies. NCCR is very happy to be one of the academic partners of this great event.
