Abstract

This chapter explores the study of trauma and traumatic events in political geography, especially focusing on feminist and decolonial approaches that have redrawn understanding of the long-term psychological impacts of political events and processes. The chapter first considers the key features of feminist political geographies of trauma, before going on to examine the issue of representing and narrating trauma. It then identifies a shift in recent research away from geographies of trauma to trauma-informed geographies, and consequent implications for knowledge production. We offer three sets of reflections from our own research practice.
