Alexander’s work is situated at the intersection of economic and cultural sociology and shows how moral discourses around new markets, property rights and digital technologies shape the social organisation of the economy with specific emphasis on environmental topics including land, fisheries and nature conservation.
Before joining MSC, Alexander received a PhD from Uppsala University (SE) and held visiting fellowships at the University of Chicago (USA) and the London School of Economics and Political Science (UK).
