Care-full academia in practice: in memory of Margaret Walton-Roberts

This reflection honors Margaret Walton-Roberts and her care-full practice and contribution to the feminist geographic community and to Gender, Place and Culture. It does so by engaging with Lindsay Naylor’s recent book All Geographers should be feminist geographers. Drawing on personal experience from working on the editorial team with Margaret 2019 to 2023, the text highlights Margaret’s role as mentor and colleague, and emphasizes how her supportive, non-hierarchical approach exemplified feminist principles of care within academia. By situating these experiences within broader discussions of academic labor and networks of support, the piece underscores the often-invisible yet essential work that sustains scholarly communities.
