Morgan Adamson is a scholar-practitioner who works at the intersections of non-fiction film and cultural studies. Grounded in archival research and collaboration, her experimental cinematic practice animates hidden histories and infrastructures as a form of social engagement situated in place. Her recent essay film, Brutal Utopias (2023), examines architecture as a social force, mining conflicting archives to grapple with the ways cities are made and remade through cycles of destruction and resistance. She is the author of a book on radical cinema and the essay film, Enduring Images: A Future History of New Left Cinema (University of Minnesota Press: 2018), in addition to numerous scholarly and popular essays on histories of finance, race, and geographies of dislocation and social reproduction. Her work has been reviewed in Cineaste, Film Quarterly, and Hyperallergic, among other places. She is currently Professor and Chair of Media and Cultural Studies at Macalester College.
