Herstory
The Centre for Gender Studies evolved from the interdisciplinary working group Women's Studies (RUG, late 1980s).
In 1991 the RUG-Centre for Women's Studies was erected under the aegis of the pro-rector L. De Meyer.
In 1992 the Centre's name changed. 'Women's Studies' became 'Gender Studies'.
In 1997 the Centre became an official UGent-Research Centre. The Centre runs on a number of volunteering academics whose individual research is situated in or aligned with the field of gender studies.
