Rosalind Morris is Professor of Anthropology at Columbia University and is the author of many books, among them In the Place of Origins: Modernity and its Mediums in Northern Thailand, a book that explores spirituality, performance, and mass media in Southeast Asia.

She has been conducting field research in South Africa since 1998, where she has been writing ethnography of South Africa's dangerous gold mining communities. While conducting ethnographic research, Professor Morris has also produced creative projects in the form of documentary film, multimedia art installations, as well as photography, poetry, and she has also worked on operas.
