Biography/ Background

 

Jennifer Bonham is a senior lecturer and Co-convenor of the Master of Planning programs in the School of Social Sciences, University of Adelaide. She has a background in human geography specializing in urbanization and cultural practises of travel. Her research draws on post-structuralist and feminist theoretical frameworks as it explores the complex relationship between bodies, spaces, practices, and meanings of travel. Her current research examines the gendering of cycling. Jennifer’s work is informed by a concern for equitable and ecologically sustainable cities. Jennifer is an on-going member of the organising committee for the Australian Cycling Conference series and is Program Manager and Proceedings Editor for the 2013 conference. She is also a member of the editorial board of the international journal Transfers, an interdisciplinary journal of mobility studies.
