Gender, Politics and Change in Mountaineering: Moving Mountains

After three years it is finally out thank you to Dr Emma Boocock and Dr Zoe Avner my co-editors, the series editors Stephen Wagg and Professor David Andrews and of course the team at Palgrave Macmillan.

This book is the first edited collection to offer an intersectional account of gender in mountaineering adventure sports and leisure. It provides original theoretical, methodological, and empirical insights into mountain spaces as sites of socio-cultural production and transformation.

The book shows how gender matters in the twenty-first century, and illustrates that there is a need for greater efforts to mainstream difference in representations and governance structures if we are to improve equality in adventure, sporting and leisure spaces.

The interdisciplinary volume represents scholars from theoretical as well as applied perspectives across adventure, tourism, sport science, sports coaching, psychology, geography, sociology and outdoor studies.
