Ruth Wilson Gilmore is a professor of geography in earth and environmental sciences at The City University of New York.[1]
In September 2008, for her book, Golden Gulag, the American Studies Association awarded her the Lora Romero First Book Publication Prize for the best first book in American studies that highlights the intersections of race with gender, class, sexuality and/or nation.[2] (The Gulag ran the main Soviet forced labor camp systems during the Stalin era, from the 1930s until the 1950s.) In 2012, the American Studies Association awarded her the first Angela Y. Davis prize for Public Scholarship that "recognizes scholars who have applied or used their scholarship for the "public good." This includes work that explicitly aims to educate the public, influence policies, or in other ways seeks to address inequalities in imaginative, practical, and applicable forms." [3]
In 2014, she received the Harold M. Rose Award for Anti-Racism Research and Practice from the Association of American Geographers.[4]
Gilmore earned her Ph.D. from Rutgers University in 1998.[5]
