Abstract

The chapter delves into the epistemological struggles of feminist geographers in Brazil, who face challenges in gaining recognition for their work. It discusses the recent feminisation of Brazilian geography, the limited expansion of gender studies, and the emergence of contesting epistemological movements. The authors argue for the inclusion of love and ethics of care as fundamental elements in understanding contemporary spatial reality. The chapter is based on data from the Brazilian Geography Observatory and interviews with prominent researchers, offering a nuanced perspective on the complexities and achievements of feminist geographies in Brazil.

The Brazilian government, through the 'Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel' (Qualis-CAPES System) uses metrics to qualify scientific journals in Brazil, organizing a ranking of quality attribution according to the following order of strata: A1, A2, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5. The evaluation base was the triennium 2013-2015.

Productivity measured by the number of articles published per year, according to Lattes Curriculum and the impact measured by the h index.
