Biography
Alejo grew up in Argentina and migrated to the United States with his parents. As a first-generation immigrant student transferring from Miami Dade Community College, he graduated with an ScB in Physics and a BA in Africana Studies from Brown University. At the University of Michigan, he pursued a similarly expansive program of study, earning a Ph.D. in Astronomy and Astrophysics and an M.A. in Philosophy.
But it was in his Ph.D. work in Romance Languages and Literatures that he combined his interests in the history and philosophy of science and how these fields shape and are shaped by current debates within Indigenous and Latin American Studies.
