Towards feminist energy geographies: A critique of masculinist core-periphery binaries

This commentary offers a brief and sympathetic critique of Ptak et al.'s (2025) argument that energy geographies is a marginal subdiscipline in human geography. While agreeing with the authors’ positioning of human geography as ‘an integrative and convergent field’, I question the notion of a centre-periphery binary within the discipline. I argue in favour of a feminist energy geographies approach by foregrounding the diverse forms of inter- and intra-disciplinary knowledge production. The commentary contends that masculinist framings of core-periphery can act as objects of power and marginalisation.
