Organizers & Partners

“In the name of the Graduate School of Christian Studies of Rikkyo University I wish to express our gratitude for this opportunity to work together with TIIKM in the preparation of WCWS 2017. Although I myself could not join the conference itself I heard from Prof. Ui that it was a very meaningful gathering of experts on women’s studies and a seminal exchange of research results in the field. It was pleasure for us to be one of your academic partners in this event! As we hear that preparations for WCWS 2018 have already started we hope WCWS in Sri Lanka will become an authority for women’s studies in Asia.”

“As one of the members of the academic partners (A research organisation called Kathmandu based Nepal Centre for Contemporary Research) of the 4th 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. “
