Bridging Worlds : Building Feminist Geographies

This book marks the 30th anniversary of the International Geographical Union Commission on Gender and Geography by honouring the contributions of Janice Monk to the field of feminist geography. Part of the International Studies of Women and Place series co-edited by Janice Monk and Janet Momsen, this volume represents key areas of Monk's extensive work within feminist geography. The collaborative nature of this collection by over 45 leading international scholars reflects the networks and themes Monk nurtured throughout her long and impactful career. The chapters provide critical insights to wide-ranging topics that include the development of feminist geography in different global contexts, gendered geographies of work and everyday life, and gender and environmental concerns. Diverse voices and perspectives in this book will serve as invaluable resources for scholars interested in gender and feminist geographies, the history of the IGU Commission on Gender and Geography, career trajectories of women geographers in different parts of the world, gendered geographies of the life course, as well as feminist analyses of environmental issues. The book will be useful to students, educators, and activists in gender studies, development studies, and human geography--
