Welcome to Space & Sexuality, a new podcast series that brings together leading and emerging scholars in the field of queer geographies to explore cutting-edge research at the intersections of spatiality, sexuality, and subjectivity. Grounded in the fields of geographies of sex and sexualities and trans geographies, in each episode Dr Joe Jukes pursues critical inquiry, reflection, and intellectual exchange with scholars from around the world.

Series 1 features conversations with the editors and contributing authors of Queer Geographies: Key Debates and Contending Perspectives (Bain, Podmore, and Arun-Pina, 2025). While discussions engage with academic ideas, they are also shaped by a warm, conversational tone that reflects the collaborative and socially-networked aspects of critical and interdisciplinary academic work. By combining rigorous scholarship with accessible conversation, Space & Sexuality aims to foster global connections among researchers while opening up vital debates to wider audiences.Copyright Joe Jukes

  • Creating spaces of and for difference in Amsterdam with Avery Franken
    Jul 8 2026
    Amsterdam is one of the world's "gay capitals", but how does queer life take place there? Like other large cities, Amsterdam features a variety of spaces for LGBTQ+ people, each with its own set of norms, socio-economic priorities, imagined client groups and distinct feels. In this episode, Avery Franken shares her Masters' research project which considers the variety of place-making work undertaken across the city, and the inclusions and exclusions this produces. Avery shares ethnographic detail about Amsterdam's queer scene and its POC-led spaces, which may sometimes be overlooked by thinkers and visitors from abroad. Listen to find out more.

    Shownotes:
    - De Sering, Amsterdam https://desering.org/
    - Bar Barrio
    - FLINTA (Female, Lesbian, Intergender, Non-binary, Trans and Agender people)

  • Queer geographies in French translation with Karine Duplan
    Jun 24 2026
    Academia has a language problem, and the geographies of sexualities are no exception. Whilst the field, at least from my vantage point, is dominated by English scholarship, many worthwhile ideas, concepts and approaches are written and shared through other languages. In this episode Dr. Karin Duplan from the University of Geneva reflects on how she has worked to bridge Francophone geographies of sexualities literatures with other global scholarship. We also discuss her work on inclusive cities, where she considers what makes a city a queer city.

    Shownotes:
    - Tiran Willemse (dancer, choreographer and researcher)
    - French geographies of sexualities
    - European Geographies of Sexualities Conference
    - Queer(s) in Exile: a sensory ethnography for spatial justice (Project) https://data.snf.ch/grants/grant/221128

  • Queer geographies beyond the closet with Ale Boussalem
    Jun 24 2026
    The metaphor of the closet is perhaps one of the strongest narrations of queer life. The Gay Liberation Front famously commanded queers to come "out of the closets and into the streets". But what are the limitations of closet-thinking? Who does it include and exclude in its imaginaries? And what is the geography of the closet? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Ale Boussalem from the University of St. Andrews, who shares his research on the racialisations and spatialiations of the closet.

    Shownotes:
    - Epistemology of the Closet (Eve K. Sedgwick, 1990)
    - “A place where there is no need to explain: LGBTQ Muslims, collective disidentification and queer space in Brussels, Belgium”, in Social & Cultural Geography (Ale Boussalem, 2023)
    - “In, out, or somewhere else entirely: going beyond binary constructions of the closet in the lives of LGBTQ people from a Muslim background living in Brussels”, in Transactions IBG (Boussalem, 2021)
    - “When the spotlight is always on the neighborhood: LGBTQ people from a Muslim background deconstructing imagined borders in Brussels, Belgium” in Sexualities (Boussalem, 2023)
