Centre for the Study of Women and Gender
This centre is interdisciplinary and draws its membership from across the university. It aims to provide a focus for research and teaching on women and gender in the university and to facilitate the development of interdisciplinary research in the area of women’s and gender studies.
Women’s and gender studies has been established for almost twenty years at Warwick, the Centre itself was established in 1993 and in the summer of 2002 it became a research centre based in the Department of Sociology. Professor Nickie Charles was appointed Director of the Centre in January 2005.
