    Biography

    Rob Kitchin is a professor in the Maynooth University Social Sciences Institute at Maynooth University, for which he was director 2002-2013, and 2021-2022. After studying at Lancaster University (BSc Geography), Leicester University (MSc GIS), and the University of Wales Swansea (PhD Geography), he took up a post in Queen's University Belfast in 1996, moving to Maynooth University in 1998. He is principal investigator on the Data Stories project (funded by the European Research Council, 2022-2027) and was PI for the Building City Dashboards project (funded by Science Foundation Ireland, 2016-21), the Programmable City project (funded by the European Research Council, 2013-18), the Digital Repository of Ireland (2009-2017) and the All-Island Research Observatory (2005-2017). He was Chair of the Irish Social Sciences Platform 2007-2013.

    He has published widely across the social sciences, including 36 authored/edited books, over 200 articles and book chapters, and over 60 editorials, commentaries and reports, and     has delivered over 300 invited talks at conferences and universities. He is an editor of the international journal Dialogues on Digital Society (2024-), and has been the managing editor of Dialogues in Human Geography (2011-20) and Social and Cultural  Geography (2000-09), and an editor of Progress in Human Geography (2010-14). He was the editor-in-chief of the 12 volume, International Encyclopedia of Human Geography. He has successfully written or been a principal investigator on fifty funding awards, totalling c.€39m (€19m to MU), including funding from PRTLI 2, 4, 5, ERC, SFI, ESRC, NSF, Special EU Programmes Body, Interreg and RIA, and a number of government departments and public bodies.

    He was the 2013 recipient of the Royal Irish Academy's Gold Medal for the Social Sciences and recipient of the Maynooth University     Research Achievement Award, 2018. He received the Association of American Geographers ‘Meridian Book Award’ for the outstanding book in the discipline in 2011, and his research has been discussed over 600 times in local, national and international news media.  Google Scholar profile

    Research Interests

    Since completing my PhD in 1995 my research has spanned a number of interrelated domains that can broadly divided into overlapping clusters of projects and publications:

        Software, big data, smart cities
        The Internet and cyberspace
        Cartographic theory, mapping and dashboards
        Data infrastructures and practices
        Spatial theory and geographic methods
        The development of the discipline of  Geography
        Ireland: social geography, housing, spatial planning
        Diaspora strategies and migration
        Disability issues
        Cognitive mapping; relationship between Geography and Psychology  

    I have been fortunate enough to have (co)written or been the principal investigator on 45 funded research projects, research infrastructure, and research centre/platform awards totalling c.€36 million from a range of funders, including the European Research Council (ERC, EU), Irish Research Council for Humanities and Social Sciences (IRCHSS, Ireland), Royal Irish Academy (RIA, Ireland), Higher Education Authority (HEA, Ireland), Science Foundation Ireland (SFI, Ireland), Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC, UK), National Science Foundation (NSF, USA), ESPON (Europe) and the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB, Europe).  

    Current on-going funded research includes: 

    The Programmable City (2013-2018).  Funded by the European Research Council, €2.31m (ERC-2012-AdG 323636-SOFTCITY); plus a supplemental SFI award of €300K. Project website 

    Building City Dashboards: Addressing applied and fundamental issues (2016-2020). Funded by Science Foundation Ireland, €2.35m (15/IA/3090).  Co-PIs Chris Brunsdon, Martin Charlton, Co-Is Jeneen Naji and Gavin McArdle. 

    Digital Repository of Ireland (2010-2015, on-going). Funded by the Programme for Research for Third Level Institutions, cycle 5, Higher Education Authority, €5.2m (MU share €1.42m). Partner institutions: MU, TCD, RIA, DIT, NUIG, NCAD. Project website
