Lee Grieveson is Professor of Media History at University College London. He has taught previously at the University of Exeter, at King’s College, London, and as a Visiting Associate Professor at Harvard University. Grieveson works on cinema/media and political economy. His book Cinema and the Wealth of Nations: Media, Capital, and the Liberal World System (University of California Press, 2018) examines the way cinema was utilized by states and corporations to facilitate the establishment of a transnational liberal political economy in the interwar years of the twentieth century. The book was supported by Fellowships from the Leverhulme Foundation and the Arts and Humanities Research Council and it is the recipient both of the Limina Award for Best International Cinema Studies Book and the British Association of Film and Television Studies Award of Best Monograph. Grieveson was co-principal investigator, with Colin MacCabe, of a major UK Arts and Humanities Research Council funded project entitled "Colonial Cinema: Moving Images of the British Empire," a project which both aimed to digitally archive British colonial cinema spanning the twentieth- century and to organize scholarly gatherings to investigate these materials. The details of this can be seen at www.colonialfilm.org.uk.
