Stephen J. Collier

 

I am an Assistant Professor in the Graduate Program in International Affairs at the New School. My research interests include neoliberalism, socialist and post-socialist urban planning, contemporary security,infrastructure, and welfare. In all these areas I have examined forms of governmental rationality, their recent past, and their present transformations. I have worked in Russia, in post-Soviet Georgia, and in the United States.
