Matthew Zook

Biography:

I am a human geographer and regional economic planner working within the sub-disciplines of Digital, Economic and Urban Geographies. My approach blends critical theories drawn from data/software studies, STS, and heterodox economics and uses socially-grounded, technical methods (such as audits of data structures, algorithms and larger digital systems) combined with qualitative methodologies to analyze the evolving spatialities of urban practices, representation and economic/financial activity.  

Potential Graduate Students: I am currently accepting graduate students with overlapping research interests. 

Note: because my current research is not represented in the Department of Geography’s Research Clusters please review my recent publications or LinkedIn profile before contacting me to assess whether my theoretical framings, methods and empirical interests match your own. If you have trouble accessing papers please feel free to email me.
