Finisterra Annual Lecture: Placing gender in geography, directions, challenges, and opportunities

Abstract

Since the emergence of interest in gender in the late 20th century its significance has become widely, though unevenly, included in research, teaching, and applied work in human geography and related social sciences. This Finisterra Annual Lecture reviews aspects of engagement internationally – where and how work has developed, themes addressed, methods applied, and approaches to dissemination. It notes advances made and some continuing challenges.
