Freedom from harassment is a basic human right and precondition to mental and physical health. While sexual harassment has become a higher-profile issue in recent years across a range of cultural contexts, including through the global rise of the #MeToo movement and the Everyday Sexism project, this issue has also attracted the attention of policymakers at the highest levels, leading, in the UK, to a Parliamentary Inquiry in 2018 on sexual harassment in public places, and a briefing paper on sexual harassment in higher education from the House of Commons in 2018. All of these highlight the urgent need for both deeper understanding and cultural change on this issue. Meanwhile, sexual harassment constitutes an important area of academic inquiry across a wide range of scholarly fields including psychology, sociology, women’s studies, criminology, law and social policy as well as geography. This article critically reviews key trends in scholarship on sexual harassment in public. It focuses on the spatial contexts of the street, the night-time economy and higher education institutions. A fundamental question of spatial justice, I argue that sexual harassment can be approached through three conceptual lenses: the relational emergence of bodies; the politics of everyday spatial practice; and the ways affects and the atmospheres they generate shape spatial experience. I argue that geographers have a vital role to play in advancing knowledge on this issue, and conclude by outlining a research agenda tracing outlines along which this work might unfold.

免受骚扰是一项基本人权，也是身心健康的先决条件。近年来，在一系列文化背景下，性骚扰已成为一个备受瞩目的问题，包括通过#MeToo运动和日常性别歧视的全球兴起项目，这个问题也引起了最高层决策者的关注，导致英国在 2018 年就公共场所性骚扰问题进行了议会调查，以及下议院关于高等教育中性骚扰的简报在 2018 年。所有这些都突出了在这个问题上更深入的理解和文化变革的迫切需要。同时，性骚扰构成了广泛学术领域的重要学术研究领域，包括心理学、社会学、妇女研究、犯罪学、法律和社会政策以及地理学。本文批判性地回顾了公共性骚扰学术研究的主要趋势。它关注街道的空间背景、夜间经济和高等教育机构。空间正义的一个基本问题，我认为可以通过三个概念镜头来处理性骚扰：身体的关系出现；日常空间实践的政治；以及它们产生的影响方式和氛围塑造空间体验。我认为地理学家在推进关于这个问题的知识方面可以发挥至关重要的作用，并通过概述一项研究议程来总结这项工作可能会沿着这些大纲展开。
