This was at the time when the feminist movement was active and the seminars attracted large audiences in what was still male dominated Oxford.
[1] In 1983 the CCCRW was formally established at Queen Elizabeth House, the University of Oxford’s International Development Centre.
Members felt that a public event should mark the beginning of the newly formed Centre and in 1984 the first Commemorative Lecture in celebration of pioneering women anthropologists was given.
Also included in its activities are workshops and conferences, which resulted in many publications (there was a monograph series first with Berg then Berghahn Books).
In July 2011,[2] IGS/CCCRW ended its long association with Queen Elizabeth House and moved to Lady Margaret Hall (LMH).
