Alexandra Crampton, MSW, MA, PhD (she/her/hers)

Associate Professor
Marquette University
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States

Alexandra Crampton received her BA from Stanford University and graduate degrees from the University of Michigan, which include an MA in Anthropology (2002), an MSW (2001) and a joint Ph.D. in Anthropology and Social Work (2007). She also completed postgraduate work in negotiation pedagogy and negotiation training through the Program on Negotiation at the Harvard Law School in 2006 and 2007. She has been an Associate Professor in Social Welfare and Justice at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin since 2016. Her teaching interests include aging, life course development, conflict resolution, difficult conversations, restorative justice, international aid, and family dispute resolution. As an anthropologist, Dr. Crampton studies policy and service intervention contexts intended to address vulnerability associated with young and older ages. A focus is on professionalized dispute resolution as intervention. Past research examined elder mediation in Ghana and the U.S. Ongoing projects examine family court mediation in the U.S. and family dispute resolution in Australia. Her newest research works towards decolonizing gerontology and gerontological intervention expertise through direct research engagement with older adults. The research site is in a U.S. retirement community where the average age of residents is just above age 85. The timing of this study coincided with the Covid-19 pandemic, and thus analysis addresses the impact of a public health crisis and associated interventions.
