We welcome Dr. Léa Ravensbergen, who is a post-doctoral fellow at TRAM or (Transportation research at McGill) in the School of Urban Planning. Her mixed-methods transport research is driven by an overarching concern for equity in the creation of healthy and sustainable cities. Her doctoral research on the gender gap in cycling won the 2019 American Association of Geographer’s Urban Geography PhD Dissertation award. She recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at McMaster University where she conducted community-engaged research on older adults’ experiences using public transportation.

We’re talking about her paper entitled 'Toward feminist geographies of cycling'. This paper was published in Geography Compass in 2019 with co-authors Ron Buliung, and Nicole Laliberte.
