Bio
Alexandra Scrivner (she/her) holds a bachelor's degree in journalism and global studies from Azusa Pacific University and a master’s in peace and conflict studies from the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. She has a working background in international development, transitional justice programs, and community organizing within the U.S. and Southeast Asia regions respectively.
Since being at Syracuse University, she has conducted research regarding secessionist movements, domestic far-right extremist groups, peacekeeping interventions, climate transition frameworks, and has established herself as a mixed methods researcher currently working as a TA for the Maxwell course Quantitative Methods for Social Science (MAX201).
Having previously traveled/worked/studied in over 20 countries worldwide, her dissection of ongoing transitional justice (TJ) debates and interventions do so from both a global and environmental framework; asking what stake TJ has in redefining needed global wealth redistribution and just climate solutions. Her current dissertation project focuses on definitions of justice being formed in deindustrialized regions of U.S. and Europe being claimed as future “climate havens.”
