Queering feminist geography

Queering Feminist Geography Collective, et al. 2025. “Queering feminist geography I: Queer/trans inclusion, exclusion, and belonging.” Gender, Place, & Culture 32, no. 8: 1290–1301.

In the first piece of our four-part Queering Feminist Geography Viewpoint series, we explore themes of queer/trans inclusion, exclusion, and belonging in feminist geography and geography more broadly. We begin by introducing the Queering Feminist Geography Collective, a group of us that has come together to activate intellectual and political potentials between queer, trans, and feminist thought and foster inclusion of queer/trans people, perspectives, and approaches within feminist geography. We then explore the question of queer/trans inclusion in feminist geography by sharing positive and negative experiences we have had within the subfield’s spaces. We close with our shared aspirations for a queer/trans inclusive feminist geography.

Queering Feminist Geography Collective, et al. 2025. “Queering feminist geography II: Working through and working against trans-exclusionary feminisms” Gender, Place, & Culture 32, no. 9: 1445–1455.

In the second piece, we consider the problem that trans-exclusionary feminism poses for feminist geography. In this paper, we examine the field’s fraught history of trans inclusion and explore how it must change to address the problem of trans exclusion.

Queering Feminist Geography Collective, et al. 2025. “Queering feminist geography III: Calling all allies and accomplices” Gender, Place, & Culture (forthcoming).

In the third piece, we discuss allyship for queer/trans scholars within and beyond geography. We consider when and why queer/trans geographers need allies and accomplices in our personal and professional lives. We then turn to feminist praxis to guide our work to become allies for queer/trans colleagues.

Queering Feminist Geography Collective, et al. “Queering feminist geography IV: Toward queer and trans-feminist coalition” Gender, Place, & Culture (forthcoming).

In the final piece, we turn toward the possibility and potentials of queer and trans-feminist coalition building. We reflect on work in our field that brings together queer, trans, and feminist perspectives and concepts by reviewing the historical relations between feminist and queer/trans thought in geography and assessing the present landscape of engagements between these realms. Building on these connections, we then present areas of intellectual and political commonality, outlining potential areas of further work. We close by outlining our vision of queer and trans-feminist coalition in geography and identifying obstacles that might get in the way of this vision.
