Gender and Rurality, Hardback Book

Gender and Rurality Hardback

Part of the Routledge International Studies of Women and Place series

Hardback

Description

The study of gender in rural spaces is still in its infancy.

Thus far, there has been little exploration of the constitution of the varied and differing ways that gender is constituted in rural settings.

This book will place the question of gender, rurality and difference at its center. The authors examine theoretical constructions of gender and explore the relationship between these and rural spaces.

While there have been extensive debates in the feminist literature about gender and the intersection of multiple social categories, rural feminist social scientists have yet to theorize what gender means in a rural context and how gender blurs and intersects with other social categories such as sexuality, ethnicity, class and (dis)ability.

This book will use empirical examples from a range of research projects undertaken by the authors as well as illustrations from work in the Australasia region, Europe, and the United States to explore gender and rurality and their relation to sexuality, ethnicity, class and (dis)ability.
