\r\n
\r\nThis module examines the impact of feminism on human geography, from the call to insert women into geographical analyses and take into account gender relations in rethinking dominant definitions of space, place and landscape to debates on the need to recognise diversity and difference among men and women. It also explores the politics and practice of doing feminist research in geography. Drawing on case studies from both the Global North and South, the gendering of specific sites (ranging from the home to the nation) and processes (e.g. migration) is explicated in the module. To do this, it first draws links between gender ideologies on the production and use of space, and considers the gendering of private and public places. It moves on to addresses issues of identity and difference, examining the interconnected politics of gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity and nationality, and how these issues both shape and affect people’s use of space and place. The module is targeted at all students interested in gender issues, particularly how they implicate space (and vice versa).
