Paul WILSON.

I am a researcher, typographer and writer whose work explores the intersections of language, landscape, community and communication.

My current practice-led research involves the production of designed narratives of community and place and, in particular, investigates the potential for critically-engaged typographies and language-acts, focusing on sites of class experience and situated knowledge at moments or points of change or transition.

Much of this work orbits ideas and ideals of utopianism found in manifestations of the utopian action, and results in a broad range of activities: surveying the noticeboards found in the interior landscapes of Working Men’s Clubs; mapping the route of the march which marked the closure of Britain’s last deep coal mine; exploring the post-Brexit significance of the Esperanto-English dictionary held in Keighley Library, West Yorkshire.

I'm a Lecturer in the School of Design at the University of Leeds.
