About Me
Alejandro De Coss is a PhD Candidate in Sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Alejandro is an urban sociologist, researching the urbanisation of water in Mexico City through an ethnography of the workers and engineers that maintain, repair, and manage its water supply system. He is interested in the study of urban infrastructures, and how these intersect with questions of capital accumulation, environmental transformation, and the state. In this research, Alejandro is thinking through new materialist and critical urban political ecology approaches from the standpoint of labour as practice and process.
