Students can name central ideas of feminist geographies and their important representatives. Students can recognize and name central concepts and scales relevant to feminist geographies (e.g. body, home, family, community, global) and explain them based on an example. Students can recognize and name feminist-geographical questions in different fields of human geography (e.g. political geography, economic geography, cultural geography, urban geography).

The lecture introduces perspectives, ideas, concepts and important representatives of feminist geographies. In addition to the history and development of German-language feminist geographies, central debates from the UK/Anglo-America and the global South will be discussed. On the basis of concrete examples from everyday life and research in different fields of human geography (e.g. political geography, economic geography, cultural geography, urban geography), feminist geographic approaches will be presented as a fundamental perspective of human geographic research and thinking.

The lecture is suitable for all students (BSc students, Bed students, and possibly Master's students) who are interested in feminist-geographical issues and topics and who particularly want to adopt a feminist perspective in human geographic research and teaching.
