Alexander is Executive Director of Social Justice Education. He has been teaching, monitoring, developing and directing programs for youth and adults learners, immigrants, and second language learners in Boston’s communities for thirty-five years. He holds advanced degrees in Education (Northeastern) and Counseling (University of Massachusetts). A devotee of Liberation Pedagogy, Lynn has used literacy as a social power of the most oppressed, in the tradition of social change educators such as Septima Clark and Amilcar Cabral. According to the Dean of Loyola University, “Alexander is the prototype of – that is, he is the consummate expression of – the community teacher,” (Dr. Peter Murrell, The Community Teacher, Temple University Press, 2003). Formerly a professor of Social Research at UMass/Boston and in the Community Building concentration at Cambridge College’s School of Human Services, he has directed SJE since 2010. He is an author, editor, and his soon to be published work is a practical source book of Popular Education.
