Edited by Valerie Preston, Professor Emerita and Senior Scholar in Environmental and Urban Change, York University, Canada, Sara McLafferty, Professor Emerita, Department of Geography and Geographic Information Science, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, US, Monika Maciejewska, Senior Researcher, Research Group in Mobility, Transport and Land Use (GEMOTT), Department of Geography, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain, Brenda Yeoh, Raffles Professor of Social Sciences, Department of Geography, National University of Singapore, Singapore<i>‘The <i>Handbook of Gender and Mobilities</i> offers an authoritative overview of key developments in research on the gendering of multiple mobilities, from migration to everyday trip-making. Its centring of care and intersectionality in different regions of the world is one of its many strengths. The collection shows how a vibrant research tradition has come of age, and that there is a long road to go until gender equality and justice mobility is achieved.’</i>

<i>‘</i>Handbook of Gender and Mobilities<i> offers a comprehensive review of literature on the connections between gender and mobility across various scales and diverse contexts. This unique volume provides a global perspective, addressing critical issues such as mobility justice, intersectionality, and the impact of the life course and infrastructure on gendered experiences.’</i>

<i>‘This book is an important contribution to literature that interrogates diverse aspects of gender and mobility. The wide range of authors brilliantly untangle the complex web of mobility (and immobility) in everyday life and across the life course. The empirically rich and innovative theoretical work in this edited collection will engage readers in critical feminist analyses of the gendered dimensions of accessibility and mobility in society.’</i>
- Ann M. Oberhauser, Iowa State University, USA,
Expert contributors investigate key issues such as mobility transitions across the life course; the links between gender, caregiving and everyday mobilities; and the gendered opportunities and constraints for international migrants. The studies critically examine the gendered impacts of transportation infrastructure and sustainability policies such as 15-minute cities and free-fare public transport. Drawing on empirical research from across the globe, the Handbook of Gender and Mobilities highlights how class, ethnicity and race, ableism and age shape gendered mobilities across different spatial scales.
This Handbook is an excellent read for students and researchers looking for an up-to-date resource for mobility studies, urban studies, feminist geography, transportation geography, urban geography, and migration studies. The cogent and succinct summaries of current research will be especially informative and useful for policy makers and transportation planners.
