  Jen Gieseking is a Ph.D. candidate in environmental psychology at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Her research focuses on the development of lesbians' and queer women's spaces and places, specifically how and why these spaces have socially and economically changed and/or remained the same over generations in New York City. Her previous work has examined how the physical, social, and historical campus is affected and reflected in the identity development of its students and alumnae spanning generations throughout the 20th century. She is interested in the sociocultural construction and private/public aspects of everyday queer space, the right to the city and the right to design the city, cognitive and mental mapping methodologies, and feminist and queer pedagogy. She is a member of the Participatory Action Research Collective, a Writing Fellow at Hunter College, a 2008 Fellow of The Center for Place, Culture, and Politics, a 2007 Fellow of the Summer Institute for Geographers of Justice, and a 2008 Woodrow Wilson Women's Studies Dissertation Fellow.
