Space & Sexuality

Joe Jukes

Welcome to Space & Sexuality, a new podcast series that brings together leading and emerging scholars in the field of queer geographies to explore cutting-edge research at the intersections of spatiality, sexuality, and subjectivity. Grounded in the fields of geographies of sex and sexualities and trans geographies, in each episode Dr Joe Jukes pursues critical inquiry, reflection, and intellectual exchange with scholars from around the world.

Series 1 features conversations with the editors and contributing authors of Queer Geographies: Key Debates and Contending Perspectives (Bain, Podmore, and Arun-Pina, 2025). While discussions engage with academic ideas, they are also shaped by a warm, conversational tone that reflects the collaborative and socially-networked aspects of critical and interdisciplinary academic work. By combining rigorous scholarship with accessible conversation, Space & Sexuality aims to foster global connections among researchers while opening up vital debates to wider audiences.

    Queer geographies in French translation with Karine Duplan

    Academia has a language problem, and the geographies of sexualities are no exception. Whilst the field, at least from my vantage point, is dominated by English scholarship, many worthwhile ideas, concepts and approaches are written and shared through...
