| Sumario: | Over 20 years ago, feminist and radical geographers urged members of the discipline to critically engage with questions of gender and sexuality in our research, in academic life and in the classroom. Classrooms, as geographical spaces are gendered, classed and sexualized in particular ways within power relations. Drawing on contemporary feminist pedagogies in geography, I critically reflect on an unexpected situation that arose in a North American Graduate course on social justice issues. In written course evaluations, student comments reflected a particularly gendered and sexualised set of expectations that stemmed, in part, from the nature of the classroom setting and the course content. In this paper, I examine how my experiences in this course illustrate that attempts to «gender», «sex» and «queer» the geography classroom have met with successes and setbacks that reflect particular historical and contextual circumstances. |
