In this paper, I present sentipensar (to feel/ sentir and to think/ pensar ) as an avenue for feminist research in human geography. I engage with decolonial theory and feminist critiques of objectivity and positionality that argue against ‘objective and universal’ knowledge and advocate for situated and embodied ways of knowing. I argue that sentipensar offers a flexible, creative approach to the production of knowledge in human geography; however, it does not inherently offer a feminist lens unless addressed through an intersectional framework. Thus, I present my journey of rooting my practices in a feminist‐informed approach to sentipensar and illustrate how this practice can look through a mixed‐methods approach that encompasses (1) urban transect walks; (2) ethnographic shadowing and (3) bus stop audits. The contribution of this paper lies in its advocacy of sentipensar as a methodological approach for feminist human geographers and researchers at both a theoretical and a practical level.
