Mind the Gap: exploring blind spots and gendered perspectives in urban public transportation policies in Antwerp and Rotterdam

Description

This research investigates the creation, perception and usage of public transport in urban environments along the lines of gender. It aims to address the structures that dictate everyday life in urban public transport, yet have become invisible for this very reason. To explore the conceptualisation of gender in public transportation policies, this study constructs a theoretical framework based on the concepts of androcentris (derived from Greek andros meaning man, implying a systematic focus on the male and the masculine) and blind spots, with particular attention paid to the concept of ‘gender mainstreaming’ in public transportation policymaking.
