Repatriation and Ethnographic Archives
Just over 100 years after Katherine Routledge's 1921–1922 expedition to the Mangareva Islands, digitized copies of a portion of her field notes from the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) in London were returned to the source community in French Polynesia. Historical ethnographic fieldnotes represent an underutilized primary source of cultural knowledge in repatriation activities as part of a broader push by cultural institutions to decolonize…
Decolonising spaces of geographical knowledge production
This commentary is a response to the Area commentary by Mark Griffiths and Kate Baker, which draws focus on the problematic prominence of colonial material histories at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG)'s Lowther Lodge site. We outline an undergraduate field trip – run collaboratively by University College London (UCL) and the RGS‐IBG since 2018 – for first‐year UCL geography students that aims to make them both aware of geography's probl…
Feminist geography in the UK
Feminist praxis has always been about both the individual and the collective; one of the revolutionary and utopian promises of feminism is that of being, bringing, and working together. This piece provides a brief account of some of the significant scholarship and collective activities within British feminist geography over the last twenty five years, with a particular focus on the work of the Women and Geography Study Group/Gender and Feminist G…

Recent work in feminist historical geography has revealed the previously unknown extent of women's involvement in exploration and expeditionary work, in ways that challenge existing understandings of these practices as being strongly male‐dominated.

Coming of age? Reflections on the centenary of women's admission to the Royal Geographical Society
Women's admission to the Royal Geographical Society was at least a two-staged affair, with a cohort of 22 women being admitted in 1892-93 before open access to women from 1913. However, whilst official membership was defined by these historic line-in-the-sand 'boundary' moments, some aspects of women's participation within the Society were enacted in a permeable 'frontier zone'. Both prior to, and after, fully accessing Fellowship in 1913, women …
