Elise Pizzi

I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Iowa. I earned my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Colorado in 2015. Before attending graduate school, I taught English in Sichuan, China and spent two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Republic of Georgia (2005-2007).

My research focuses on the political processes involved in human development. I examine public goods and services, ethnic politics and migration, and the way politics shape natural resource management and natural disaster response.

For more information on my ongoing research projects and publications, please visit my research page. Please contact me if you are interested in my work.
