gender, place and space through a variety of disciplinary approaches,  
investigating a wide range of real and imagined places and spaces.

spaces, or virtual spaces; spaces such as the home, the office, the

the rural, the suburban; spaces as represented in various texts and  
discourses; uses of space; theories of space, and more.
