Abstract

Key Messages Mental health and wellness are issues of growing concern on North American campuses. A feminist geography perspective reveals that there are cultural, institutional, political, and intersectional factors that impede active engagement with mental health and wellness in the academy. We encourage geographers to consider mental health and wellness as professional development issues of concern to us all.
