Adam Bledsoe

Adam Bledsoe is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography, Environment & Society at the University of Minnesota. His work focuses on Black geographies, African diaspora studies, and political geography with emphasis on racial capitalism, anti-Blackness, and extractivism. His research explores spatial dimensions of racial oppression, historical resistance movements, and the intersections of law, land, and identity.

Key research areas include Black spatialities in the US South and Brazil, methodological approaches to studying Black geographies, and the geographies of anti-Blackness within global systems. His work bridges critical race theory, political economy, and environmental justice frameworks.

Recent publications (2018–2024) highlight themes of marronage as resistance, Afro-Brazilian environmental struggles, and the structural denial of Black self-defense. His 2022–2024 works emphasize decolonial methodologies and the theorization of diverse economies under racial capitalism.
