Director of Humanities and Social Science

Alex is the Director of the school of Humanities and Social Science, providing leadership of a vibrant range of subject areas (Criminology, English, History, Media, Communication and Culture, Sociology) and a portfolio of degrees from Foundation entry, through to undergraduate and post-graduate level.

His research interests lie primarily in the field of contemporary US foreign policy and, particularly, the approach to international affairs adopted by the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations. His work on this topic is the subject of a monograph, The Rise of the Rogue States Doctrine, which is published by Routledge.

With an interest, more broadly, in US Foreign policy and presidential power from the Cold War to the present day Alex has taught previously at the universities of Southampton and Salford and been a visiting public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C.

Alex is willing to supervise doctoral candidates on issues relating to post-1945 US Politics and foreign policy or topics on specific presidents in the Cold War and post-Cold War era.
