ABSTRACT

In this chapter we will:

Explore how scholars in cultural geography have drawn on feminist perspectives to examine the object of geographical research.

Introduce work that has argued that society and the geographical discipline are heteronormative; they actively endorse certain lifestyles and sexual preferences, while presenting others as deviant and abnormal.

Explore the geographies and politics of sexuality: examining, in particular, the emerging geographical scholarship that identifies emerging forms of sexual citizenship.
