Queer Geographies Key Debates and Contending Perspectives

This timely book explores queer geographies at a critical juncture of societal and disciplinary self-reflection and transformation. It raises questions of justice and progress in the face of complex and ongoing social exclusions and ecological crises that necessitate change both within and beyond queer geographies.

Leading experts incorporate the concepts of reorientation, relationality, replacement, and reconceptualization to provoke collaborative discussion across the globe, revisiting queer geographies’ accomplishments and reworking established concepts. Interdisciplinary in scope, the book provides visual interventions to advance the reconfiguration of queer geographies and invites fluidity, openness, and dialogue across and between disciplines. Ultimately, this book showcases new lines of geographical inquiry and debate to envision alternative disciplinary futures that amplify queer and trans voices while displacing authority and privilege.

Queer Geographies is an essential resource for scholars and students of sexual and gender minority life and queer theory, as well as women’s and gender studies, cultural and environmental studies, anthropology, psychology, and sociology.
