Dr. Adamson’s research centers modern political philosophy and critical responses to its contradictions as they have been articulated by feminist, socialist, anti-colonial, and critical race theorists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. They also research movements, political organizations, and scholar-activists who have worked to translate their philosophical principles into concrete political action. Dr. Adamson’s current research is on the political and economic writings of Rosa Luxemburg, C. L. R. James, Sylvia Wynter, and Frantz Fanon.
