While at Oxford, Alexander focused on the history and politics of early modern England and China, as well as international relations, with a particular interest in war, diplomacy, empire, and the stories nations tell about themselves. His work has taken him from the archives and libraries of Oxford to conferences and military institutions, including presenting research at the United States Military Academy. He has taught and tutored students in politics, history, and international affairs, and enjoys helping young people see that world history is not just a list of dates and dead men with increasingly alarming facial hair, but a living drama of ambition, fear, invention, courage, and catastrophe. Alexander is currently completing a doctorate at Oxford on diplomatic language at the United Nations, studying how China, India, and the United States use speeches to argue over power and world order. Alongside his academic work, he writes on geopolitics, technology, and international security, and is developing Lampadion Advisory, a small geopolitical consultancy focused on historically informed analysis. This fall, Alexander will continue his doctoral work at Oxford while writing, teaching, and building his profile as a geopolitical analyst. He has previously taught at Oxford Academia. Beyond academia, he has been honoured with a Fellowship of the Royal Society of Arts and commissioned as a Kentucky Colonel.
