Ryan Bishop

Ryan Bishop is Professor of Global Art and Politics at University of Southampton's Winchester School of Art, serving as Head of Research for Art and Media Technology and Faculty Director of Graduate Studies for Arts and Humanities.

Research Focus: His interdisciplinary scholarship intersects critical theory, media studies, and urban analysis, with current projects examining wind as cultural-technical phenomenon and philosophical responses to climate crises. The AHRC-DFG collaboration 'Weather Reports' exemplifies this approach.

Publications explore military technologies' cultural impacts, elemental media theories, and transindividuation in urban contexts, employing political-aesthetic frameworks.

Supervises seven doctoral candidates in Fine Art and Design while co-editing book series for Edinburgh/Duke University Presses and the journal Cultural Politics.
