About the Department

The Centre for Women’s Studies (CWS) at Cotton University, like other such centres in the HEIs of the country was formally instituted early this year in January 2020, following the 6th Executive Council resolution of Cotton University (Res.No./2019/6/9) which approved the establishment of a “Women’s Studies Centre”, proposed in May 2019. Housed in the main campus of the university, the Centre is headed by senior faculty and has one Assistant Professor. The Centre mandates an inclusive environment while striving to provide an informed space and network of feminists, academics, artists and civil society for a gender-inclusive community that engages with conversations and interventions around women's concerns
