We situate “feminist ideals” within an intersectional theoretical framework that sees 身份(性别、种族、阶级、性、能力等).)和不平等制度 and privilege (sexism, racism, white supremacy, colonialism, homophobia, ableism, 等.)相互构成和相互关联. 倡导性别平等和 social 正义 means calling equally for racial 正义, economic 正义, environmental 正义. We stand with those who condemn and speak out against systemic racism, structural 暴力和种族不公正. 我们致力于节目的多样性和反种族主义， and to our ongoing learning and self-reflexivity to build a just, equitable, and sustainable 世界.

我们的历史
The initial interest in developing a Women's Studies program at Aquinas began in the 1980年秋天(Kozal, 1994). 当时，一小群女性——简·希巴德·艾德玛， Sister Yvonne Greiner, and Betty Jennings - recognized the need for broadening the curriculum to include topics and concerns that were relevant to women. 在某种程度上， observations stemmed from their personal experiences with the Encore Program, which 是为返校的非传统女学生准备的吗.

Additionally, however, their ideas to develop courses in women's studies coincided with larger educational transformations that were occurring nationally in the United 各州对第二波妇女运动的反应. 的正式结构 courses in Women's Studies were becoming increasingly visible nationwide.

At Aquinas, the impact of such educational changes was reflected in a move to formalize 提供妇女研究课程的结构. 随后是女子比赛 Studies Cognate成立于1983年(Kozal, 1994)。. 它的创立涉及Sister 伊冯娜·格雷纳，南希·弗卢默菲尔特修女，还有. Michaeleen凯利. 妇女研究 Cognate, a voluntary effort of women faculty, hosted many events including guest lectures, films, concerts, and workshops, including Aquinas’ first women’s  film festival, organized 1985年由Michaeleen凯利担任导演(Kelly, 2016).

Once the academic program was established it became important to designate a space where women could come at Aquinas to ask questions, receive guidance, and feel welcome. 妇女研究中心成立于1986年.

2000年，玛丽·卡洛琳·“Twink”弗雷和詹姆斯·E. 麦凯慷慨地捐了一笔捐款 which enables the Center to provide wonderful services and programs to the Aquinas 社区和大急流城地区年复一年.

我们的名字
On November 3, 2000, the Jane Hibbard Idema Women's Studies Center was re-named in honor of Jane Hibbard Idema for her work with the Encore for Women Program at Aquinas, which was designed to meet the needs of women returning to school. 简早期的兴趣 in helping women improve the condition of their lives led to her involvement with a small group of women at Aquinas who together established the Women's Studies Center in 1986.

2000年以后，在李博士的带领下. Susan Haworth-Hoeppner，中心带来 highly visible programming and nationally- and internationally- recognized speakers to West Michigan, often in coordination with the West Michigan Women's Studies Council, including Margaret Attwood, Judy Chicago, Margaret Cho, Eve Ensler, Barbara Ehrenreich, and Molly Ivins, as well as Nicholas Kristof, Winona LaDuke, Diane Rehm, Faith Ringgold, Vandana Shiva, Sandra Steingraber等等. The Center continued the tradition of bringing well-recognized speakers on women’s and gender issues to campus through the first two decades of the twenty-first century.

In 2023, following college-wide revisions to the curriculum, the Center’s name changed to reflect the revision of the academic program of Women’s Studies to Women’s and Gender Studies, a shift to greater currency and relevance in the field.
