Gillian Rose (Geographer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gillian Rose is a British Geographer and well published geographic author. She is currently the senior professor of culture at the Open University. She is most well known for her book, written from a marxist and radical feminist perspective Feminism & Geography: The Limits of Geographical Knowledge, published in 1993. The book stimulated a series of debates within Geography about the nature of how geographic knowledge is constructed.
Her current research interests lie broadly within the field of visual culture. She is interested in the ways social subjectivities and relations are pictured or made invisible in a range of media, and how those processes are embedded in power relations. She also has long-standing interest in feminist film theory and in Foucauldian and feminist accounts of photography in particular.
In recent years she has written two books - Deterritoralisations: Revisioning Landscape and Politics (2003) and Visual Methodologies: An Introduction to Interpreting Visual Materials (2007).
