Glass ceilings and stone floors
While there has been a steady growth of women working in geography in UK universities since the mid-Twentieth Century, there are continuing challenges in gendered career progression and professional interactions within the contemporary discipline.

One sector that has increasingly been brought into the orbit of the new regional policy framework is that of the creative industries, and r…
