Office Hours
Zoom: Wednesdays 4:00pm - 5:00pm

Jeremy Crampton focuses on societal and political interactions between geolocational technologies and our everyday experience. He has written widely on critical geographies of surveillance, spatial big data and algorithmic decision-making and the way these are governed. He has been active in establishing the field of critical cartography since the 1990s and wrote a key monograph on this topic in 2010. More recently, he has explored the geolocational implications of platforms, machine learning and web3 for a project on the possibilities and barriers to developing counter-GeoAI. He is currently writing a book entitled The Map and the Spyglass: The New Geographical Analytics of Everyday Life to be published by Verso. Crampton is a Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute and the Royal Geographical Institute in the UK, and a member of the American Association of Geographers.
