Out in Academia: The queer politics of one geographer's sexualisation
This paper describes and interprets certain personal experiences as an 'out' gay male academic who addresses issues of sexualisation in his work. I discuss several events which have impacted on curricula, on student and collegial relations and on the practices and culture of university settings more broadly. While some of these impacts can be seen as positive (e.g. diversification of curricula, improvements in campus and community 'social climate…

Social Justice, Sexuality , and the City
The sexualized nature of capitalist development processes has generally been ignored in both critical and mainstream social science. This is due to a largely unexamined heterosexist bias that pervades both perspectives, and whose connections to other forms of oppression are almost always also left unexamined. The social injustices associated with dominant sexualizations cross all five of the faces of oppression identified by Iris Young (1990) and…
Ideology and Urban Landscapes: Conceptions of the Market in Portland, Maine
This paper concerns the role of ideology in the operation of urban land and housing markets. We argue that existing work in this area tends to be overly abstract and to reify ideology. To correct this, we advocate examining understandings of particular land and housing markets. We focus on Portland, Maine, and analyze discourses on the uneven costs of social development, inner‐city redevelopment, a recent decline in the regional economy and Portl…
Some theoretical implications of gay involvement in an urban land market
Exploiting the Rent Cap: The Theoretical Significance of Using Illegal Appraisal Schemes to Encourage Gentrification in New Orleans
This paper examines the theoretical significance of fixing property appraisals as a means of encouraging a change in urban land (gentrification). After a narrative describes the use of bribery and fraud to obtain loans and to enable potential homebuyers to enter the housing market the practice is interpreted as a method of exploiting rent gaps. This method entails the encroachment of an independent, entrepreneurial faction of capital (speculator-…
Gender Relations as a Particular Form of Social Relations
Social theory, social movements and public policy: Recent accomplishments of the gay and lesbian movements in Minneapolis, Minnesota
Toward an Analysis of the Role of Gay Communities in the Urban Renaissance
This paper provides a theoretical and methodological framework for a "social constructionist" analysis of the role of gay communities in the "urban renaissance." We suggest that this is important both because as a substantive area of research the role of gays in the "urban renaissance" has been neglected, and because it highlights the need to overcome the structure versus agency debate in social theory. Structuralists have tended to regard the ro…
