Abstract

This article investigates the inclusion of LGBTQIAPN+ themes in Brazilian geographical science through the analysis of dissertations and theses. Using a systematic literature review, academic productions up to 2023 were examined, identifying 58 works, predominantly from public universities. It was found that, although studies have increased since 2015, production is still concentrated in the South and Southeast regions, with a focus on categories such as “territory” and “spatiality”. Trans and travesti identities are frequently associated with violence and prostitution, while orientations such as asexuality and pansexuality remain neglected. The study concludes that there is a need to expand and diversify research on LGBTQIAPN+ populations in the field of Geography.
