About Us
The Journal of Women's & Gender Studies, University of Delhi (DU-WGS), is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed, bi-annual, student-led Journal established under the aegis of the Women's Studies and Development Centre (WSDC), University of Delhi. Commenced in 2026, it stands as the first initiative of its kind within the University, dedicated principally to amplifying student scholarship and institutional engagement over the concerns of Women and Gender.
The Journal aims to cultivate the research acumen and intellectual capacities of students while inviting participation from a broader scholarly community. Submissions are welcomed from undergraduate and postgraduate students, research fellows, PhD candidates, alumni, early-career scholars, and established experts alike. The Journal seeks to advance multi-disciplinary research and representation on pressing concerns that continue to marginalise women and gender minorities in society, aspiring to provoke critical examinations of inequities and contribute to both classical and contemporary debates in the field, embodying the University’s dedication to academic excellence alognside the dynamic global paradigms for social progress and inclusion.
