Doing Gender Doing Geography: Emerging Research in India

This pioneering study brings together Indian geographers contributions to understanding gender, and through them, seeks to enrich the discipline of geography. It engages with the recent spatial turn in the social sciences, which has reclaimed the explanatory power of space and place in social theory that had been nearly lost to deconstructive postmodernist scholarship. The volume draws entirely from the Indian scholarship, showcasing contextualised knowledge production, but hopes to initiate a dialogue with scholars elsewhere working with feminist methodologies.
