Alexander Vasudevan

About the Author

Alexander Vasudevan is a historian and urban studies scholar whose work illuminates the intersections of architecture, politics, and everyday resistance in modern cities. Drawing from extensive archival research and fieldwork, he explores how marginalized communities have reshaped urban landscapes through acts of occupation and self-organization. His scholarship challenges conventional narratives of urban development, highlighting the radical potential of squatting as a form of spatial justice and collective autonomy. With a background in geography and critical theory, Vasudevan's writing bridges academic rigor with accessible storytelling, making complex socio-political histories vivid and relevant to contemporary debates on housing, inequality, and the right to the city.
