Biography
Dr. Alexa J. Cameron-Windsor is a legal scholar and educator whose work focuses on alternative dispute resolution (ADR), law and religion, and the rights of minority communities. She is currently an assistant teaching professor at Emory University School of Law and a senior fellow at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion, where she teaches Legal Profession, First Amendment: Free Expression, Health Care Regulation, and Introduction to American Legal Systems.
Her doctoral dissertation, "Conscience through Contract: Arbitration for the Nonnormative Other," proposes using binding arbitration as an alternative rights paradigm for LGBTQ+ communities. Her publications explore the potentials and limitations inherent within the Federal Arbitration Act and its subsequent jurisprudence, and she frequently lectures in classrooms, conferences, and symposia on the community-building benefits of ADR.
Prior to her doctoral studies, she earned a JD (2021) and an LLM (2022) from Emory, where she was named the Randolph W. Thrower Scholar in Law and Religion. She graduated cum laude with bachelor's degrees in German and history from Colgate University (2013). Before her legal career, Windsor served as an AmeriCorps VISTA, running an education non-profit program that expanded debate access into underserved Alabama communities.
Dr. Cameron-Windsor is a member in good standing of the Alabama Bar Association. In addition to her teaching and research, she serves as the associate director for Global Learning Online (GLO), where she spearheads the formation of strategic alliances with international universities to deliver advanced legal training in arbitration and mediation.
