Gillian Rose is Professor of Human Geography at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of the British Academy. She is the author of Feminism and Geography (Polity, 1993), Doing Family Photography (Ashgate, 2010) and Visual Methodologies (Sage, fourth edition 2016), as well as many papers on images, visualising technologies and ways of seeing in urban, domestic and archival spaces. Her current research interests focus on contemporary digital visual culture and on so-called 'smart cities'. 'Smart cities' are cities which gather and use big digital datasets to run themselves more efficiently, and digital visualisations of many kinds are central to both their functioning and their imagining. She led the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) -funded project Smart Cities in the Making: Learning from Milton Keynes between 2017 and 2018. She also curates the digital | visual | cultural series of events at Oxford.
