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.

My research interests involve biological and computational approaches to understanding developmental biology, which is the process by which complex, multicellular animals develop from single-cell fertilized eggs. My biological interests have focused on understanding how cells within multicellular animals “talk” to each other to coordinate the requisite developmental processes that generate and maintain the normal structures and functions of complex, multicellular animals. The regulatory mechanisms that coordinate these processes are often the targets of mutations that cause a wide range of pathologies, including cancer.
My specific areas of focus have concentrated on analyzing the cell-to-cell signaling mechanisms that guide migrating cells to their proper targets and that mediate fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signal transduction. My laboratory uses molecular-genetic approaches to study the cell migrations of the sex myoblasts and FGF signaling in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
