Uxía Reboiro-Río presented at the II AECPA Gender and Politics Session in Santiago de Compostela 📍✨
She discussed the use of ReliefMaps+ to explore feminist activists’ experiences in relation to anti-feminist and anti-gender movements.
Huge thanks to Ana María Noguera for the seminar, “Cuerpos y Territorios en Resistencia: Mujeres Indígenas en Defensa de la Vida.” Your work illuminates the leadership of Indigenous women defending life, land, and community. We left energized and grateful.
We’re excited for the next GRETA seminar of 2025–26!
Aranka Scherping presents: “Cuerpos que cuidan, espacios que agotan: una cartografía feminista del trabajo de cuidados”.

The study argues for a relational and plural understanding of the right to the city, grounded in situated and intersectional experiences that reveal how belonging and exclusion are co-produced in urban life.

It frames the right to the city within broader debates in urban theory, addressing tensions between economic perspectives and feminist, postcolonial, and queer critiques. It shows how these dynamics unfold in Southern Europe through distinct colonial, migratory, and racial logics
📑Based on a qualitative methodology combining Relief Maps and interviews, the article examines how intersecting social positions shape urban experiences, producing specific forms of exclusion and negotiation across both public and private spaces
🔎We are pleased to announce our new publication in Urban Studies: “The intersectional right to the city: Non-binary and trans people navigating gender, race, and class in Barcelona” co-authored by Belén Masi and @mariarodo.bsky.social

#Interseccionalitat #CanviClimàtic #Catalunya
7/ 🌿🌏L’article s’inscriu en la tesi doctoral de Mar Coll-Planell sobre canvi climàtic i interseccionalitat a Catalunya.
6/ ✍️La interseccionalitat pot ajudar a desenvolupar polítiques climàtiques més justes tenint en compte experiències diferenciades de la població.
5/ 🧮Reptes i camins: cal enfortir metodologies (mixtes, participatives i transdisciplinàries) i ampliar l'estudi dels eixos de desigualtat per consolidar aquest camp emergent.
4/ La revisió crítica de la literatura demostra que la interseccionalitat és clau per:
1️⃣ Poder fer una lectura sistèmica del canvi climàtic
2️⃣ Reconèixer la diversitat i context en les experiències climàtiques
3️⃣ Avançar cap a la #JustíciaClimàtica
3/ 👥La recerca existent mostra com gènere, classe, racialització, edat, estat civil o lloc de residència modelen vulnerabilitats, responsabilitats i capacitats d’adaptació. Cal més recerca sobre eixos de desigualtat com l'orientació sexual o la (dis)capacitat.
2/ 🌏⚖️L’article mostra que la interseccionalitat és clau per entendre el canvi climàtic com a problema social i estructural, no només ambiental.
1/ 🔔 Nou article de l'equip INTERMAPS a Documents d’Anàlisi Geogràfica:
“Repensar el canvi climàtic des de la interseccionalitat: aportacions, potencialitats i reptes” de Mar Coll-Planell. doi.org/10.5565/rev/...
The last week (Oct 2–4), Leon Freude and

traveled to Manizales, Colombia to present INTERMAPS and take part in a teaching collaboration with the University of Caldas! 🟣 #Intermaps #FeministGeography #InternationalCollaboration
Núria Font-Casaseca presented at the IV COLOQUIO INTERNACIONAL CONFLICTOS URBANOS in Lisbon last week🏙️🟢
She discussed about "ReliefMaps+, una herramienta digital para el estudio de las desigualdades urbanas desde una perspectiva interseccional y geográfica"
Thanks to everyone who presented how they used Relief Maps for their research and all of those who attended and showed interest in the tool💜
Grateful for the inspiring conversations and critical feminist perspectives shared throughout✨
#ATGENDER2025 #FeministResearch #GenderStudies
🟣 Last week, our team presented at the ATGENDER Conference at UAB, Barcelona 🟣
🗣️🔎We organized a workshop on the Relief Maps methodology where we shared the new website reliefmaps.upf.edu and talked about different applications of the tool for diverse research topics

Validation isn't just about stats but rather about:
💬 Listening to lived experiences
👀 Questioning neutrality
📍 Locating knowledge in context
With our spiral validation, we offer a replicable model for researchers designing tools beyond the binary.
Our article fills a gap in the literature on validating tools grounded in feminist and intersectional frameworks.
It's more than testing the tool: it’s about co-construction, ethics & deep reflection.
📍 What’s new in our approach?
– Non-linear, iterative validation
– Mixed methods
– Grounded in standpoint theory & data feminism
– Centered on ethics, positionality & reflexivity
#feministresearch #intersectionality
🚨 New article!
How do we validate research tools from feminist & intersectional perspectives?

Through critical tools, theories & collaborations, INTERMAPS continues to push geography beyond its boundaries. From GIS histories to climate futures, our work at #AAG2025 reflects mapping as a key tool for justice. 🗺️💜

🌿 Also on March 27, @marcollplanell.bsky.social ll presented her PhD work on climate change in Catalonia in the session Intersectional Feminist Approaches to Climate Justice.
#ClimateJustice #Intersectionality
🛠️ On March 27, @mariarodo.bsky.social and @mapasurbanos.bsky.social co-organized 3 sessions on Building Feminist Mapping Tools & Praxis, along with Meghan Kelly.
Maria presented Mapping Climate Impacts using Relief Maps and Núria explored emotional & relational dimensions of place in GIS.
🧭 On March 26, @mapasurbanos.bsky.social joined the panel Minor Histories of GIS as a discussant. She spoke on the need to draw from other disciplines to rethink GIS through a critical lens—highlighting “minor GISciences.”
