Guillaume Ethier est professeur en théories de la ville, rapports espace-société au Département d’études urbaines et touristiques de l’UQAM. Sociologue, il s’intéresse aux formes urbaines contemporaines en tant que reflets de la société. Il a soutenu une thèse de doctorat sur la starchitecture lui ayant valu les prix Phyllis Lambert (thèse de l’année sur l’étude de l’architecture au Canada) et Jean-Pierre-Collin (thèse de l’année en études urbaines du réseau Villes Régions Monde). Durant les dernières années, il a publié Architecture iconique : les leçons de Toronto (PUQ, 2015) et dirigé l’ouvrage collectif Le spectacle du patrimoine [The Spectacle of Heritage], PUQ, 2017). Il s’implique depuis quelques années dans le milieu du placemaking à Montréal, notamment auprès de l’organisme La Pépinière Espaces collectifs. Il s’intéresse par ailleurs aux mutations urbaines à l’ère numérique, sujet traité notamment dans un essai à paraître, La ville analogique.
