Alex’s main area of expertise in constitutional theory. His current research is focused on the shared understandings that underlie legal and political practices, and in the role that political institutions play in propagating those understandings through symbolic representation. He is also interested more broadly in legal and political philosophy, as well as substantive UK public law, human rights law and housing law. He has published in the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, the Review of Politics and Public Law, and is an occasional contributor to the UK Constitutional Law blog.
