Description:
Feminist Spaces introduces students and academic researchers to major themes and empirical studies in feminist geography. It examines new areas of feminist research including: embodiment, sexuality, masculinity, intersectional analysis, and environment and development. In addition to considering gender as a primary subject, this book provides a comprehensive overview of feminist geography by highlighting contemporary research conducted from a feminist framework which goes beyond the theme of gender to include issues such as social justice, activism, (dis)ability, and critical pedagogy.
Review Quotes:
"Artfully weaving theory with rich case studies, and academic concerns with activism, Feminist Spaces offers students a field guide to critical thinking in geography and related social sciences. By paying close attention to the ways in which gendered identities are complexly intertwined with other forms of identity and shaped through a range of power geometries, this book rewrites the agenda for feminist geographies of the 21st century." - Mona Domosh, Professor of Geography, Dartmouth College, US.
