Profile
Alex is a PhD candidate in the Political Science Program, RSSS, ANU, working with John Dryzek (ANU) and Clive Spash (CSIRO). His research interests include ecological economics, with specific focus on environmental value and valuation, and environmental policy and politics.
He is working on an interdisciplinary research project that is drawn on economics and political science. It involves the application of deliberative monetary valuation, a novel approach of ecosystem valuation that benefits from the notion of deliberative democracy.
