Dr. Alex R. Colucci is a geographer, and adjunct faculty in both the С��Ƭ��Ƶ the College of Architecture and Environmental Design, and Department of Geography. His research and teaching interests center on the political economy and political ecology of violence, social and spatial theory, knowledge production, and science and technology studies. He has published research in several areas related to these interests: on the production and design of capital punishment spaces with a focus on commodity circulation, labor, and infrastructure; on the production of geomorphological infrastructure in the context of the Cambodian Genocide; on the relationship between carceral design, prison infrastructure, and extreme temperature exposure.

His current research is focused on hostile architecture, utopian/dystopian design, suburbia and alienation, and wildlife/built environment interactions. He enjoys teaching students in his CAED elective courses about inclusive design, the production of suburban landscapes, punitive architecture, bird-building strikes, lighting, and landscaping with native plants.

He holds a Ph.D. in Geography and an MA in Geography from С��Ƭ��Ƶ, and a BA in Geography, with a minor in Environmental Studies, from the State University of New York at New Paltz
