Alex A. Moulton

Dr. Alex A. Moulton serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at Hunter College, City University of New York. His academic trajectory includes prior appointments at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (Department of Sociology), Middle Tennessee State University, and the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, establishing him as a cross-disciplinary scholar bridging geography, sociology, and environmental studies.

His educational foundation includes:

• PhD in Geography from Clark University
• MS in Geography from East Carolina University
• BSc in Geography and Geology from the University of the West Indies, Mona

Dr. Moulton's research critically interrogates Black geographical epistemologies, political ecology of environmental change, and cultural geography through the lens of racial justice. His work investigates ecological justice movements, community-based resource governance, and the enduring spatial impacts of colonialism—particularly in Caribbean contexts. By synthesizing critical social science, environmental humanities, and physical geography methodologies, he examines how marginalized communities navigate human dimensions of global environmental change while building resilience against systemic inequities. His scholarship challenges conventional environmental narratives by centering Black spatial experiences and decolonial frameworks.
