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. Jenny Hall is Senior Lecturer at York St John University, UK. She is a cultural geographer interested in embodied experiences in tourism. Her research explores social justice, gender, emotion and affect in adventure and heritage spaces. Emma Boocock is Lecturer in the Department of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation, Northumbria University, UK. Her main research interests are documenting the embodied experiences of women in green and blue spaces, and understanding how people and places influence our affective practices. Dr Zo Avner is Lecturer in the School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences at Deakin University, Australia. Her research draws on poststructuralist and feminist methodologies to explore athlete and coach learning, power and coaching, and coaching ethics.
