Lynda's overall research interests centre on the challenges and spatial complexities of inequality. Specifically, her work draws attention to the exclusionary ways in which various forms of marginalisation and discrimination – such as sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and racism – shape people’s places and spaces. She has a commitment to empirical research that is informed by current theoretical debates about society, space and tourism encounters. She has an international research focus on the embodied geographies of genders and sexualities.
