This seminar introduces A Research Agenda for Emotional Geographies and reflects on how emotional geographies contribute to feminist geographical scholarship.

The book explores how emotions shape knowledge production, research relationships, and everyday spatial experience, foregrounding questions of power, care, embodiment, and positionality.

In this session, we discuss how emotional approaches help us think through feminist concerns including inequality, vulnerability, and relational ethics, while also opening methodological possibilities for research practice.

Drawing on key chapters from the book, we reflect on how emotional geographies can support more situated, reflexive, and politically attentive forms of scholarship, and consider future directions for feminist research engaging with emotion, affect, and lived experience.
