Speaker Kate Fortmueller for a rare CMP meet
Dr. Kate Fortmueller (Associate Professor, Georgia State University) will join us online on Wednesday, November 26 at 15:00.
Kate’s work sits at the intersection of labor history, industrial practice, and crisis — from the everyday realities of working actors (Below the Stars, 2021) and COVID-era disruptions (Hollywood Shutdown, 2021), to the tectonic shifts in streaming economies (Boom to Bust, 2026, with Miranda Banks) and her forthcoming co-edited volume Hollywood Unions (2025, with Luci Marzola). She’s also part of UCSB’s Media Industries and AI Research Initiative, where she’s exploring how automation and AI are reshaping Hollywood labor.
In her talk, Kate will provide an overview of her research till date, methods she uses, the lineages of her work and the key questions she is interested in.
