Gender, race-ethnicity, place and difference

Women

Geographies of gender have become increasingly attuned to the place-specific nature of gender relations, interlocking relations of race-ethnicity, sexuality, and location, and the ways gender informs the construction, use and meanings of space, place and territory.

Research by Professor Sarah Radcliffe on the dynamics of gender and development in the Andes spans a wide range of themes, from women’s mobilization in social movements, through to development opportunities for racialized impoverished rural women in Ecuador.
