Gender and sexuality I

Open publisher page 150 citations

Abstract

This review considers how recent geographies of sexualities have attended to intersectionality. It documents the unevenness in attention across gender, race, class, age, (dis)ability and religion. Gender and race have received far more attention than others. A series of anxieties is thus raised by this inequity: which and how many intersections are considered, the ironic consequences of those choices, the multiple registers in which these dilemmas occur, and the consequences for other geographies of identity.
