Wilson's Blog

Dr. Matthew W. Wilson is an Assistant Professor of Geography at the University of Kentucky. His research is situated across political, feminist, and urban geography as well as science and technoculture studies, interfacing these with the more specified field of ‘critical geographic information systems’. Dr. Wilson studies the use of geographic information technologies in representations of the urban and the environment. His interests in location-enabled mobile technologies and the resulting proliferation of user-created, Internet-based data lead him to ask questions about the intersection of technology across urban and ‘natural’ landscapes. Dr. Wilson teaches courses in geographic information science and urban political geography. He earned his Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Washington.
