“…Intersectionality has been identified as a key mechanism from advancing geographies of age (Hopkins and Pain, 2007;Pain and Hopkins, 2010) and has been used in work about young people (O'Neill Gutierrez and Hopkins, 2014) and to explore the intersections between masculinities and older age (Tarrant, 2010). Work about racism and black geographies also employs intersectionality; examples here include Shabazz's (2015) study of black masculinity in Chicago, Joshi et al's (2015) critical engagement with whiteness and microaggressions experienced by graduate students and faculty, and Eaves' (2017) insights into the queer Black South in the US.…”

Intersectionality is an approach to research that focuses upon mutually constitutive forms of social oppression rather than on single axes of difference. Intersectionality is not only about multiple identities but is about relationality, social context, power relations, complexity, social justice and inequalities. This report reflects upon the use of intersectionality in social geography and emphasizes the complex histories of intersectionality that are often overlooked in geography. I argue for a greater embrace of the contribution of black feminists and some of the earliest work in geography taking an intersectional perspective. I also argue for intersectionality to be used ethically and with care in geography, rather than it being deployed in a way that unwittingly reproduces a white, colonialist, racist and masculinist discipline. I explore possible avenues for future research about intersectionality in social geographies including a focus upon residential segregation, transnational migration and embodiment.

“…For example, some scholars recognise the origins of intersectionality and have explicitly analysed race, alongside other axes of difference (e.g Morris 2007;Scott 2002; . O'NeillGutierrez and Hopkins 2014). Some childhood studies/geographies scholars have also focused on race and its intersections (seeConnolly 1998; Mac Naughton,Davis, and Smith 2009;Rosen 2015b;Moore 2003); however, they do not theorise intersectionality and attend to the debates we have outlined above.…”

Childhood studies/geographies have a longstanding interest in questions around multiple social inequalities and identities in diverse socio-spatial contexts, but have not yet seriously considered the politics of intersectionality. Importing intersectionality into childhood studies is neither a straightforward nor an unproblematic process. We suggest that the question that childhood studies/geographies scholars must confront is how intersectionality can be used in this interdisciplinary field in ways which recognise and take seriously the intellectual history and labour of Black women and preserve the integrity of intersectionality's radical praxis of emancipatory knowledge production and collective action for social justice. This article examines how intersectionality and its emancipatory politics might be preserved, strengthened and enhanced when it is operationalised in a context of childhood studies/geographies.

“…Children's geographers have been at the fore of understanding micro‐spaces of young people's lives. In these micro‐geographies, relationality and intersectionality are important for examining the richly textured ontological foundations of children and young people's life worlds (Hopkins and Pain, 2008; Hopkins, ; Gutierrez and Hopkins, ). Hopkins () provides an in‐depth account of how young people's identities are situated within social relations; one defines oneself through one's affiliation with particular groups based on class, gender, religion, sexuality, race, and also indigeneity, locality, size and so on.…”

This article focuses on the material and discursive constructions of nature and chil dren in the city. While dominant representations and idealizations of nature and child hood depend on the binary logic of the nature/culture and rural/urban divide, there is also a simplification and romanticization of nature in children's geographies and a lack of chil dren and their spaces in urban political ecology. We argue that children and nature in cities need to be removed from a binary model of being and attended to in more nuanced ways in urban political ecology and children's geographies. In this regard, we suggest that both nature and children in cities need to be queered. We need to ask how the production of urban spaces (re)creates particular romantic and idealized relations with natures that reify the binaries between nature/culture, and male/female through a heteronormative framework. The purpose of this article is to bring the critical nature-society theories of urban political ecology into conversation with work in children's geographies that explores the 'nature' of childhood, and in doing so queer the relationship between children and nature. Drawing on research on queer ecologies, and queered childhoods, we aim to provide a framework to rethink and queer both nature and children in cities.
