Özet

© 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.The following article is an interview with a pioneering ­feminist geographer Linda McDowell based on an exchange of written questions and responses through email. It is organized in a way to combine McDowell’s biographical journey into geography with her university experience as a student, researcher and academic. The themes explored include her work and influences ranging from geography to sociology and feminist scholarship; doing feminist geography; diversity, decolonization of the discipline and the future of feminist geographies; and in the age of global crises the potentials of feminist geographies. As a conversation between an emerita professor of human/feminist geography from the U.K. and a mid-career feminist urban sociologist from Turkey, the interview is intended to be a feminist dialogue across disciplines, geographies, and generations.
