Keith Woodward is a Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His work bridges continental philosophy, affect theory, and radical geography, emphasizing theoretical innovation in spatial ontologies and political critique. He teaches courses on weird geographies, social movements, queer theories, and speculative geographies, including advanced seminars on Deleuze, anarchist geographies, and futurity.
Education: PhD in Geography from the University of Arizona (2007). His research focuses on affective politics, site ontologies, and the philosophy of conditions. Current book projects include Affective Passing (critiquing affect empiricism), The Whole Onflow (extending Whiteheadian geographies), and Ontologies of the Site (singular spatial theorizing).
Recent scholarship explores speculative geographies, trans and queer theories, and art-science collaborations. His articles interrogate topics like spatial scales, cinematic spaces, and state affectivity. Woodward advises four PhD students and has published widely in Cultural Geographies, Antipode, and Annals of the Association of American Geographers.
His work challenges conventional spatial frameworks through interdisciplinary methods, emphasizing ontological speculation and critical engagement with geographic thought's histories. Courses like 'Madison Atlas Project' and 'Trans Autotheories' reflect his commitment to creative pedagogy and socially engaged scholarship.
