About
Alex is a first-year PhD student focusing on State-Corporate Crime, Green Criminology, and Environmental Justice. His research interests include the formation of borders and policies that criminalize flows of people and goods, extending abolition to immigration, illegal wildlife trade, dataveillance, and the environmental consequences of neoliberal and extractivist regimes. While living in Colorado for the last decade he studied water rights, fracking, and the privatization of prisons and immigration detention facilities. Now in Criminology, Law, and Justice at the University of Illinois-Chicago, Alex is excited to contribute to green criminology theories using quantitative methods and local community outreach.
