  • Brief history of gender in geography-and geography in gender
  • Gender, being a concern of Geography-for less than 40 years
  • Geography, traditionally a very male subject-gendering of geographers themselves and knowledges they produce
  • Placing gender performance-challenges to gendering of/in geography and related disciplines, and multiplicity of "woman"
  • Relationship between Geography and gender-explored in a number of ways
  • Scaling gender-feminist concern with body and embodiment-key to ways in which gender has been understood in Geography
