Elizabeth A. Wilson is a Samuel Candler Dobbs professor of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies at Emory University. [1] She is a scholar of feminist science studies, and her work brings together psychoanalytic theory, affect theory, feminist and queer theory, and neurobiology. [2] She is the author of Neural Geographies: Feminism and the Microstructure of Cognition (1998), Psychosomatic: Feminism and the Neurological Body (2004), Affect and Artificial Intelligence (2010), and Gut Feminism (2015). [1]
Wilson graduated from University of Otago in New Zealand with a B.Sc. in psychology. [1] As an undergraduate, she majored in psychology in part because they did not have a women's studies department though she continued her support of feminist issues outside of the classroom. [3] She graduated from the University of Sydney with a Ph.D. in psychology. [1]
Wilson is a Samuel Candler Dobbs professor of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies at Emory University. [1] She joined Emory University in 2009. [3] Prior to her appointment at Emory University, she was an Australian Research Council Fellow at the University of New South Wales. [1] [2] The Australian Research Council funded a project titled "The Embodiment of Melancholy: A Feminist Analysis of Depression" that investigated a multidisciplinary approach to understanding depression. [4]
She has held positions at the University of Western Sydney, the Australian National University, and the University of Sydney. [1] She was a member of the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, and she was a Helen Putnam Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. [1] [2] While a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute, she completed research for her book Gut Feminism. [2]
She is the author of Neural Geographies: Feminism and the Microstructure of Cognition (1998), Psychosomatic: Feminism and the Neurological Body (2004), Affect and Artificial Intelligence (2010), and Gut Feminism (2015). [1] Neural Geographies encourages feminist psychologists to think the biological body, and in Psychosomatic she continues this theme of exploring the relationship between biology and psychology. [5] [6] In Affect and Artificial Intelligence, she provides perspectives on artificial intelligence research, the relationship of humans and technology, and the psychosocial contexts of computers. [7] Her most recent book, Gut Feminism, focuses on depression and explores how antidepressant pharmaceutical data can be useful to feminists. [1] Her research adds to the work of feminist science scholars more broadly in rethinking the relationship between nature and culture. [8]
