36 Human Geography Tis paper employs the concept of “invisible colleges” to explore the processes through which spaces of critical urban theory are imbricated within a gendered power nexus. It assesses the degree of dominance in hegemonic knowledge production by clusters of scholars, their co-authors, and academic mentors and mentees. Using the example of critical urban theory, we use network graphs to map these concentrated hidden geographies understood collectively as “invisible colleges”. Te resultant visualizations refect the dominance of key scholars and their similarities (e.g. doctoral education, academic mentors, current institutional afliations, etc.). Tese heretofore unmapped networks of connectivity provide insight into the masculinized spaces of critical urban theory bringing to the fore important topics for consideration. Tese include the politics of citation and “double dipping”, or frequent publication in the same journal outlets. In bringing attention to invisible colleges, a concept that has largely escaped attention in urban studies and geography, we highlight the usefulness of visibility as a technology of equity. En route, the paper describes and visualizes some of the impacts of the proliferation of uneven knowledge production through the coalescing of factors such as path dependency, cumulative advantage, expected inequality and the Matthew and Matilda Efects. Keywords: invisible college; gender; knowledge production; exclusion; citation; critical urban studies Haciendo el Hiper-Visible invisible: la producción de conocimiento y el nexo de poder de género en los estudios urbanos críticos Este documento usa el concepto de "universidades invisibles" para explorar los procesos a través de los cuales los espacios de la teoría urbana crítica están imbricados dentro de un nexo de poder de género. Evalúa el grado de dominio en la producción de conocimiento hegemónico por grupos de académicos, sus co-autores y mentores académicos y aprendices. Usando el ejemplo de la teoría urbana crítica, usamos gráfcos de red para mapear estas geografías ocultas concentradas entendidas colectivamente como "universidades invisibles". Las visualizaciones resultantes refejan el predominio de académicos clave y sus similitudes (por ejemplo, educación de doctorado, mentores académicos, afliaciones institucionales actuales, etc.).
