Team
who is behind the Feminist Spaces Collective
We are happy to introduce you our team.
We have four core members with diverse research interests.
Core Team
Feminist Spaces Collective (formerly Feminist Park Collective) was founded in 2023.
​
As a team, we come from various backgrounds - gender studies, urban studies, social anthropology - but are united by a common vision and a goal of diverse, just and accessible green spaces.
​
The initiator of the idea of the Feminist Park is
Husseim Stuck. While the collective has since evolved beyond the original concept, we acknowledge this early inspiration as part of our collective history.
