Expertise

History of Art and the intersection between Culture and politics. I have particular interest in viewing how 'low' culture can be read as an indicator of larger political patterns.

co-Editor in Chief of the Cambridge Tab. Interested in breaking student interest stories as well as lifestyle features.
I once assisted with a successful ad hoc surgery on a cheetah in the bush to remove a bullet from its neck after it was shot by poachers.
Set up an international editorial during Covid collecting and sharing stories of students in lockdown from six of seven continents (no-one was available in Antarctica)

Experience

After editing his School paper, Alexander spent a year travelling abroad, having trained in fashion journalism at the Vogue College of Fashion. He spent time working on a Game Park in South Africa, Shooting films in Italy, and working with political think tanks in Washington DC, a series of experiences which uniquely equips him to write in depth on a broad range of topics from an insider's perspective.

Education

After attending Harrow School as an Academic Scholar, Alexander went on to complete his A levels in Latin, Classical Greek, English, and History of Art at Westminster. He now reads History of Art at King's College Cambridge, after taking a year abroad to study the subject in Rome, Florence and Paris.
