Research Interests
Alex's research explores what transnational social movements teach us about the relationship between sexuality, political struggle, and the capitalist state. His work aims to recenter history in international theory, to ground theories of gender and sexuality within their social and historical contexts, and to introduce world systems analysis to queer studies.
