Geographies of an expecting body
Pregnancy conceptualised as a geography in its own right. • Autoethnography of two pregnancies and births through journalling. • Home and atmosphere shaped gestation as shelter and constraint. • Ambivalence and pain reconfigured body, space, and time. • Journalling advanced as feminist spatial method

It's about how you use your privilege”
This paper explores the role of community food spaces in processes of social change and reproduction. I investigate the mechanisms by which these groups reproduce, exacerbate, or dismantle power relations and socio‐environmental injustices. I systematically examine exclusion and inclusion dynamics and assess what shapes diversity of participation and representation. Contending that diversity is not a sufficient indicator of social equity and may …

It suggests the concept of communit…

Drawing on Lefebvre's perspective on the production of space, I compare the conceived …

However, scholars have retained a major bias towards movement mobilisation and collective action, often relegating the everyday at the margins of social movements. While there have been notable exceptions, with studies of prefigurative activism and everyday practices of social change, they have usually focuss…
