Abstract

This chapter explores the relationship between feminist political geography and methods by attending to mobile methods. Mobile methods are inherently connected to feminist political geography which seeks to center embodiment, power, and the everyday to offer relational constructions of space. Using more engaged methods within political geography is thus to take seriously feminist commitments that question how we do political geography, the methods we use, and the sites we center. This chapter makes two arguments. First, that feminist approaches to political geography have largely bolstered the methodological growth within the discipline, especially the expansion of mobile methods. Second, that mobile methods can in turn be crucial tools for feminist political geographers due to the way in which they center embodiment, power relations, and the everyday. Mobile methods can be both a way to understand political geography beyond a dominant state focus and a means of centering other bodies and a politics of place.
