Changing Rural Masculinities
Unequal gender power relations have long driven many young women to leave rural areas. Recent rurbanisation processes in Spain have intensified with the arrival of a diverse population driven by different motivations, increasing social heterogeneity. Among the newcomers are young, highly educated men involved in innovative entrepreneurial projects aimed at revitalising local economies. This study examines their identities and everyday practices i…

Youth, activism and new rurality
Feminist Interventions
In Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Greece, the feminist perspective in geography appeared in the early 1980s as a result of the rise of the feminist movement and contact between the researchers and the production of knowledge in Europe and the United States. Since then, the production has been concentrated in specific research groups and universities working mainly on the experiences of women's daily life and gendered spaces in cities from a critical…
Mapping feminist geographies in Spain
Based on our experience of years of research, teaching and academic administration, this text gathers reflections on the past, present and future developments of feminist geography in Spain. We first show how a gendered perspective was introduced into geography in the late eighties. We then reflect on what we call ‘the stage of consolidation’ alongside territorial inequalities at the turn of the century. And we finally present some notes what the…
Intersectionality in feminist geographies
This paper introduces a special themed section that arose from an International Conference on Feminist Geographies and Intersectionality: Places, Identities and Knowledges, held in 2016 at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Six scholars of Canada, France, Greece, New Zealand, United Kingdom and United States seek to deal in five short papers with the intersectional dynamics of power structures and the central role of place within them. Here w…
Work–life balance of professional women in rural Spain
In some regions of Spain, well-educated women decide to move to the countryside to carry out their professional activities. This is a new phenomenon after many decades of female outmigration that also occurs in other European regions. Our aim is to explore how these professional women who decide to live in the countryside manage their work–life balance in this changing space. Our hypothesis is that these women, with high level of education and ur…
New visual methods for teaching intersectionality from a spatial perspective in a geography and gender course
Intersectionality is a complex concept to deal with when doing research but also when teaching the interrelationships between space and social relations. Here we present “Relief Maps” as a visual tool for teaching intersectionality and its spatial dimension in higher education courses. “Relief Maps” are a model developed for research and applied in a Geography and Gender course at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) with the aim of promot…

Selling the countryside
This paper analyses how rurality is represented in two lifestyle magazines about country living: LevLandlig in Norway and Vivir en el Campo in Spain. Since material, imaginative and practised ruralities are intertwined and research indicates that representations of the rural affect residential preferences and other consumption activities, we argue that it is important to critically investigate potentially influential representations. Given that t…
Children and playgrounds in Mediterranean cities
This paper presents the first results of a case study on the ways in which playgrounds are constructed and experienced in children's daily lives in two medium sized Mediterranean Catalan cities. The research is based on qualitative methodology through participant observation and interviews with institutional actors. Our research suggests that playgrounds are organised around age as the central category; nevertheless, gender is important in the us…
Teaching Europe in Spanish Universities
The teaching of the Geography of Europe in Spanish universities is analysed with the aim of detecting the relationship between the practice of teaching and recent geopolitical changes in Europe, along with the evolution of regional geography studies. The organisation of the subject, the study environment and the focus adopted are all examined, along with any issues that are recurrent, absent or new. Attention is also given to the bibliographic re…

Homework in Germany and Spain
Homeworking in Rural Spain
An increasing internationalization of economic activities in recent decades has led to relocation and restructuring of work processes in many parts of the world and in different sectors of the economy in labour-intensive industries. The search for greater flexibility in the labour market has enhanced the importance of 'atypical' work often falling within the so-called 'informal economy', in which female labour is prominent but can scarcely be tra…
