“…Within this framework, geographers of sexualities and queer geographers have worked to understand how cis-, homo-and heteronormativities produce spatial exclusions based on gender and sexuality, and the specific spatial experiences of LGBTQ populations in a wide array of spaces (Browne et al, 2007;Oswin, 2013). Geographers studying children and youth have adopted similar approaches, demonstrating the ways in which spaces are shaped by ageism, and highlighting the multiple specificities of young people's geographies (Hopkins & Pain, 2007;Evans, 2008;Holt, 2011).…”

This article focuses on the process of conducting community-based geographic research with queer and trans* youth. It is based on a research project that investigated the spatial experiences of adolescents between 14 and 18 years of age who attended Project 10, an out-of-school LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) community support organization for youth in Montreal, Canada. The authors examine the ways in which working within this community space shaped the research process and how it functioned as a site of critical geographic inquiry. The article highlights the process of gaining access to this population, the methodological particularities of working with queer and trans* youth support groups and, finally, how conducting research in an LGBTQ community space facilitated the research process. The objective is to reflect on the possibilities and limitations of this site in terms of conducting geographic research that considers the lives of queer and trans* adolescents.

“…Since at least the 1990s geographers have increasingly paid attention to sexuality to show how it plays a central role in the production of space (Oswin 2013). Sexuality has become significant to geographers' knowledge of space in most areas of human geography including in social, cultural, political, and feminist geographies.…”

Queer Economic Geographies: Sexual Hegemony, Queer and Trans Work, and Homocapitalism

While queer and trans perspectives and theories are significant themes in most areas of critical human geography today, the same cannot be said of economic geography. This paper argues for the importance of theorising the relations between non‐normative sexualities and gender identities in economic geography. This argument builds on research in feminist economic geography and beyond about the centrality of cisheterosexuality to the economy and structures of capitalism. I show how queer and trans geography and feminist economic geography have already contributed to research about the relations between non‐normative sexualities and gender identities and the economy, then outline three queer economic geographies as examples of how economic geography might further engage with sexuality beyond cisheterosexuality: (1) sexual hegemony; (2) queer and trans work; and (3) homocapitalism. Together with existing research on the economy in queer and trans geography, these queer economic geographies—each touching on concepts central to economic geography—contribute further to our understandings of how non‐normative sexualities and gender identities can be theorised in economic geography.
