This book brings together some of the best known geographers writing on gender and sexuality today. Together they explore the role of space and place in the performance of gender and sexuality. The authors take up the challenge of contextualizing gender relations through an examination of the concepts of space, place, the local and the global, sites of resistance, time-space compression, and the division between public and private space from the feminist perspective.
Sensitivity to a geographical subject can aid in the destabilization and transformation of gender and sexuality hierarchies. This general perspective on geographical contextualization is brought to bear on such specific issues as citizenship, work, domestic and homophobic violence, and marginalized sexual identities.

BodySpace brings together some of the best known geographers writing on gender and sexuality today. Together they explore the role of space and place in the performance of gender and sexuality.
The book takes a broad perspective on feminism as a theoretical critique, and aims to ground - and destabilize - notions of citizenship, work, violence, "race" and disability in their geographical contexts.
The book explores the idea of knowledge as embodied, engendered and embedded in place and space. Gender and sexuality are explored - and destabilized - through the methodological and conceptual lenses of cartography, fieldwork, resistance, transgression and the divisions between local/global and public/private space.
