Dr. Alexandra Judelsohn is an assistant professor of urban and regional planning who pursues community-based research at the intersection of urban planning, public health, and environmental studies, centering the voices of community members. Her interests lie in how cities facing austerity urbanism market themselves to potential residents, and her current research examines the role of refugee-led community organizations in U.S. refugee resettlement, as well as the gaps these organizations fill in delivering services.

Judelsohn has been published in numerous journals, including the Journal of the American Planning Association, the Journal of Planning Education and Research, Journal of Refugee Studies, and Community Development. She is a co-editor on a book, Planning for Equitable Urban Agriculture in the USA: Future Directions for a New Ethic in City Building. Before coming to the University at Buffalo, she earned her PhD in urban and regional planning at the University of Michigan.
