Alexander Page is currently Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Sydney (2020-Present). He submitted his PhD thesis in sociology, Surviving "Advancement": Aboriginal Community Organisations Negotiating Settler-Colonial Neoliberal Governance in November 2019 at the University of Sydney. His research utilises the sociology of race and racial states, settler-colonialism, critical Indigenous studies and methodologies, and the sociology of practice and agency to explore the complex relationships between Aboriginal community organisations and their relationships with government in Western Sydney from everyday perspectives of frontline workers.

Alex co-convened the Sociology of Indigenous Issues Thematic Group at the national sociological forum The Australian Sociological Association, from 2016-2019.
