Aleinikoff Named Associate Dean for Research

      Professor T. Alexander Aleinikoff was named associate dean for research by Dean Judy Areen on September 16, 2003. He succeeds Professor Vicki Jackson in that role.
     As associate dean for research, Aleinikoff oversees and provides support for faculty members’ scholarly achievements. He also promotes intellectual engagement at the Law Center through sponsoring a variety of symposia and seminars highlighting faculty research, including the weekly Faculty Research Workshop “Tuesday Talks” and the Faculty Research Seminar.
      In his new role, Aleinikoff leads a distinctive group of legal scholars among the nation’s law schools. In June 2003, a University of Texas survey ranked the Georgetown law faculty eighth in scholarly impact among all law schools, as measured by citations to its works of scholarship by other legal scholars. Aleinikoff himself was recognized as one of the “Most Cited Faculty” in that survey, about which more information can be found at www.law.georgetown.edu/news/releases /july.14.2003.html.
      One of the leading immigration law scholars in the country, Aleinikoff has been a professor at the Law Center since 1997. He has published more than 50 books and articles in the fields of immigration law, constitutional law, and statutory interpretation, including Semblances of Sovereignty: The Constitution, the State and Citizenship, and was co-editor of the books Migration and International Legal Norms and Immigration and Citizenship: Process and Policy. He teaches immigration and refugee law, citizenship law, and constitutional law. Aleinikoff also serves as a senior associate at the Migration Policy Institute.
