Biography

Andrew Gorman-Murray is a Lecturer in Social Sciences, and part of the Geography and Urban Studies Teaching and Research Group. He joined UWS in July 2011, and was previously a Research Fellow in Human Geography at the University of Wollongong (2006-2011). His PhD (Macquarie University, 2006) examined critical geographies of sexuality and home.

Andrew is a social, cultural and political geographer whose research has focused on geographies of gender and sexuality and the politics of belonging. His specific interests include: sexualities; masculinities; home, housing and belonging; same-sex families; non-traditional households; lesbian and gay identity politics; sexuality and planning; neighbourhoods and place-making; material culture studies; emotional geographies; migration; festivals and tourism; rural cultural studies; social and cultural dimensions of climate change and sustainable living. He is interested in both qualitative and quantitative approaches.

He has published an edited collection with Dr Ruth Lane (RMIT University) on Material Geographies of Household Sustainability (Ashgate, 2011). He is currently completing an edited collection with Professor Barbara Pini (Curtin University) and Dr Lia Bryant (University of South Australia) on Sexuality, Rurality, and Geography (Lexington, 2012), and writing a book on Geographies of Sexualities Down Under: Lesbian and Gay Spatialities in Australia (Ashgate, 2012).
