Lindsay Naylor: All Geographers Should Be Feminist Geographers, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Although care is a critical component of human life, it has remained on the margins of higher education and theory, heightening unequal relations along gender, race, and class lines. In All Geographers Should Be Feminist Geographers, Lindsay Naylor argues for a feminist approach in geography that is both world-dismantling and world-making, pushing back against a neoliberal academy. Care in this context is examined through labor, social reproduction, relations of exchange, and affect. Care is an everyday practice that takes place in public, private, and liminal spaces.

Naylor unpacks the promise and challenges of feminisms to address the care-less academy and the longstanding violent and exclusionary character of geography. Her fundamental premise: geography is well placed for this moment as we study and explain difference while "writing the earth." This book attends to such matters. While feminist geography has long been a sub discipline within geography, Lindsay Naylor makes the case that a feminist approach to the academy, and geography specifically, should form the foundation of all the work we do.
