The aim of Gender, Place and Culture is to provide a forum for debate in human geography and related disciplines on theoretically-informed research concerned with gender issues. It also seeks to highlight the significance of such research for feminism and women's studies. The editors seek articles based on primary research that address: the particularities and intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, age, (dis)ability, sexuality, class, culture and place; feminist, anti-racist, critical and radical geographies of space, place, nature and the environment; feminist geographies of difference, resistance, marginality and/or spatial negotiation; and, critical methodology. "Gender, Place and Culture is a very high quality journal, one that is advancing original scholarship in the critical arenas of feminist geography and feminist interdisciplinary work. The journal foregrounds theoretically-informed debate on gender issues bringing together human geographical research with that from a range of related disciplines, including Women's Studies, Sociology, Cultural Studies and Anthropology. I enthusiastically recommend it." Victoria A. Lawson, Professor Past-President of the Association of American Geographers Peer Review Statement: All research articles, including Viewpoints, in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and double-anonymized refereeing by at least two referees. Generally, invited articles and introductions for themed sections are not subject to anonymous peer review. Instead, these kinds of manuscripts are reviewed by the editorial team.
