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. Through case studies, this book challenges the
construction of dichotomies that tend to oversimplify categories
such as developed and developing, urban and rural, and the Global
North and South, without accounting for the fluid and intersecting
aspects of gender, space, and place. The chapters weave theoretical
and empirical material together to meet the needs of students new
to feminism, as well as those with a feminist background but new to
geography, through attention to basic geographical concepts in the
opening chapter. The text encourages readers to think of feminist
geography as addressing not only gender, but a set of
methodological and theoretical perspectives applied to a range of
topics and issues. A number of interactive exercises, activities,
and 'boxes' or case studies, illustrate concepts and supplement the
text. These prompts encourage students to explore and analyze their
own positionality, as well as motivate them to change and impact
their surroundings. Feminist Spaces emphasizes activism and
critical engagement with diverse communities to recognize this
tradition in the field of feminism, as well as within the
discipline of geography. Combining theory and practice as a central
theme, this text will serve graduate level students as an
introduction to the field of feminist geography, and will be of
interest to students in related fields such as environmental
studies, development, and women's and gender studies.
