Queer geographies is a field of study that examines the spatial dimensions of sexual practices, identities, and desires.

While space, power, and identity are key concepts in queer geographies, history is not typically considered a central concept in this field.

The spatialization of sexuality refers to the process by which sexual practices, identities, and desires are shaped by and shape social, cultural, and political contexts.

Quantitative analysis is not typically used in queer geographies research, as this field of study is more focused on qualitative methods that allow for a deeper understanding of individual experiences and perspectives.

Sexual regulation refers to the ways in which sexual practices, identities, and desires are regulated and controlled by social, cultural, and political institutions.

While the experiences of LGBTQ+ people in rural areas, the role of space in shaping sexual identities and practices, and the impact of globalization on sexual cultures are common themes in queer geographies research, the history of LGBTQ+ activism and resistance is not typically a central focus in this field.

Queer space-making refers to the ways in which LGBTQ+ people create and claim spaces for themselves, often in the face of discrimination and marginalization.

Religious institutions are not typically considered to be queer spaces, as they are often associated with heteronormative values and practices.

Queer representation refers to the ways in which sexual practices, identities, and desires are represented in popular culture.

Queer representation in popular culture is often criticized for being stereotypical and one-dimensional, for being used to sell products and services, and for being harmful to LGBTQ+ people. It is not always positive and affirming.

Queer urbanism refers to the ways in which sexual practices, identities, and desires are shaped by and shape the built environment.

The construction of prisons and jails is not typically considered to be an example of queer urbanism, as these institutions are often associated with the criminalization and marginalization of LGBTQ+ people.

Queer ecologies refers to the ways in which sexual practices, identities, and desires are shaped by and shape the natural environment.

The study of the sexual lives of animals is not typically considered to be an example of queer ecologies, as this field of study is more focused on the relationships between humans and the natural environment.

Queer globalization refers to the ways in which sexual practices, identities, and desires are shaped by and shape global processes.
