currently...
'Manu Goswami 2004. Producing India: from colonial economy to national
space.
(Chicago Studies in the Practices of Meaning). Chicago, Chicago University
Press.
This is a historian doing historical geography, a book that is theoretically
informed by a reading of Lefebvre (and presents this clearly), and has an
excellent chapter "Mobile Incarceration" that looks at the effect of India's
railways on social divisions (including gender) and public/private space....
so
it sounded pretty relevant!'

Hey, This is not quite what you were asking about, but an interesting
person to chat to would be Lucy Delap at Cambridge (cc'd). She has been
working on the idea of "women and children first" in terms of sea accidents
etc and I'm sure would have lots to say...
