“…As many scholars have noted, geographers have made signifi cant inroads into sexuality and gender studies across disciplines by forcing an acknowledgement of spatial process as occurring in the interstices of discursive and material practice (see Curran, 2005;Ahmed, 2006). As Browne (2007b) writes in her introduction to the special issue on 'Lesbian geographies', 'questions of power' must be put into dialogue with inquiries into 'the material possibilities of subversion', as the daily experience of identity criss-crosses the symbolic, the material, the intimate and the global (p. 1).…”

Within geography, the flourishing of studies on sexuality indicate the vibrancy of scholarship that approaches sexuality as a nexus of the global and the intimate, where the most private and introspective experiences of embodied self meet with the multiscalar processes of identity and power across the local—global continuum. Certainly, recent publications in sexual, queer and feminist geographies leave no room for doubt that sexuality and gender are axes of multiscalar activity for developing meaning, power and politics in the most personal and public of settings around the world. Consequently, geographers have illustrated how any politics by and in support of those who subvert normative gendered and sexual subjectivities requires geographical imaginations that bridge methodological approaches. In this report, I focus on such geographical imaginaries by examining the efforts of those who work within and across the diverse fields of queer and feminist theories to create synergistic efforts for investigating the everyday life of power, identity and place.

Most of the research on space and sexuality has focused on how concrete geographical sites influence the practices and experiences of sexuality.…”
