Why This International Conference Matters

In today’s interconnected world, Gender Studies has emerged as a crucial academic field that intersects with sociology, psychology, literature, politics, media, culture, and global studies. This interdisciplinary approach allows researchers, educators, and students to critically examine how gender interacts with identity, power, race, class, and globalization.

By hosting this global academic event, QMGCW aims to bring together scholars, faculty, and postgraduate students from across disciplines to share research, challenge stereotypes, and foster intellectual dialogue.
