Abstract

WORK AND TRAJECTORY OF MARIA DOLORS GARCIA-RAMON: THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FEMINIST GEOGRAPHICAL PERSPECTIVE

Maria Dolors Garcia-Ramon is a Spanish geographer of Catalan origin widely recognized as one of the most influential figures of Spanish and international feminist geography. A close look at her academic career and life reveals an interesting insight on how the "glasses of the genre" enter in a late stage of her formation; forcing her to question, and complicating her reflections and methodological approaches. The following text presents, at first, a brief tour of her academic background highlighting her main achievements and recognitions. Subsequently, some contributions of Garcia-Ramon are pointed out in her three major areas of specialization: feminist geography, rural geography, and the history of geographical thought and postcolonial studies. The text narrates the way she begins to intertwine her geographical reflections with a gender focus, the way she complements and methodologically complicates her rural studies, and the criticisms she develops towards Anglo-Saxon academic hegemony. Throughout this paper, we will mention some of the most influential books, chapters, and articles produced throughout her career, while reflecting on the importance of her legacy for Spanish and Catalan geography, and critical feminist geography.
