Heteronormativity
Heteronormativity, the ubiquitously held belief that heterosexuality is natural, and thus normal, is a useful concept for investigating embodied sociospatial configurations of gender, sex, and sexuality. It has been introduced into the study of geography by both feminist and queer geographers who have shown how space becomes heterosexualized (or not) through analyses of gendered, racialized, and sexualized practices, encounters, and relations in …
Feminist Methodologies
Feminist methodologies refer to the theoretical underpinning of the practices, procedures, and rules used by feminists to conduct research. The particular contributions made by feminist geographers to debates on feminist methodologies relate to the intersections of space, power, and knowledge. These contributions are fourfold: spatializing existing feminist approaches to knowledge production; new spatialized contributions to feminist methodologie…
Anthropogeography
Anthropogeography refers to a mode of systematic analysis, adopted in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, of the geographical distribution of societies, the relationship between migration and the physical environment, and the influence of environments upon people. Developed by the German geographer Ratzel, it is an approach that is now rarely mentioned given its association with environmental determinism, social Darwinism, and its …
Women in Geography
Although women have a long history in the discipline of geography, dating from the nineteenth century, they did not move into it in significant numbers until the 1980s. Questions about the representation of women in the discipline are starting to move from a concern with overall numbers vis‐à‐vis men to the chronic underrepresentation of women of color. Institutions representing women started to emerge in the 1970s, and a number of types of organ…
The Suzanne Mackenzie Memorial Lecture
It was Suzanne Mackenzie who first introduced me to the radical potential of a feminist mode of knowledge production in geography. In this paper, in Suzanne's honour, I ask how well feminist work in Anglo‐American geography is faring in terms of still generating new possibilities of knowledge and of existence. In asking this question I explore the work feminist interventions have done, and not done, in advancing possibilities within the disciplin…
Toward a Social Geography of the City
Focusing on processes of racialization in the lives of women in lowincome households, this article aims to contribute to a social geography of the city through a study of the feminization of poverty. Data were collected from a snowball sample of approximately 100 African- and Anglo- American women in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1989. Emphasizing the need for localized accounts of the feminization of poverty, attention is paid to specific aspects o…
Toward an Understanding of the Interconnectedness of Women's Lives
The “racial” reproduction of labor forms the central concern of this paper, which comprises an investigation of low-income African-American and Anglo-American wome's engagement in waged and unwaged reproductive activities in a downtown area of Grand Rapids, Michigan. A snowball sample was conducted with 97 women. n“Race” was shown to structure options in relation to occupations, access to transportation, and child care provision, as well as forma…
