Level with us, regional development is still ‘man shaped’: feminism, futurity and leadership
批评区域发展研究忽视女性主义视角，以英国“升级”政策为例，揭示男性主导的发展观如何限制区域未来的可能性。
Regional development is ‘man-shaped’. This article calls for more engagement with the feminist concept of futurity by bringing together and troubling masculine-coded understandings of regional development, leadership and power over time and space. It argues that continuing to neglect feminist politics and practices in regional studies stifles conceptual and practical advances in subnational development. Drawing on the example of the UK at a time the government seeks to ‘level-up’ longstanding geographical inequalities, the article highlights and troubles the construction of a masculine gaze of development over time, and how this limits the becoming of ‘otherwise’ regional futures.
