Until the 1970s gender had been invisible in analyses of social
space and place in the androcentric discipline of geography. While
recent contributions to feminist geography have challenged this, in
India the engagement of geographers with gender, by being
conservative in its choice of focus and orthodox in methodology,
has been unable to destabilise the established disciplinary order.
However, with younger scholars becoming increasingly interested in
studying gender in geography, novel and innovative methods that
include combinations of quantitative and qualitative analyses,
visual sources and in-depth case studies are being tried out and
accepted in geography despite its masculine legacy. This pioneering
study brings together Indian geographers' contributions to
understanding gender, and through them, seeks to enrich the
discipline of geography. It engages with the recent 'spatial turn'
in the social sciences, which has reclaimed the explanatory power
of space and place in social theory that had been nearly lost to
deconstructive postmodernist scholarship. The volume draws entirely
from the Indian scholarship, showcasing contextualised knowledge
production, but hopes to initiate a a dialogue with scholars
elsewhere working with feminist methodologies.
