About
Hilary Izatt joined the Michigan Political Science department in 2019 after being a Lecturer in the Department of Political Science at SUNY Binghamton, where she taught undergraduate courses on comparative politics, authoritarianism, Asian politics, and post-conflict recovery. Izatt’s primary research interests focus on the study of electoral politics and electoral manipulation in authoritarian and competitive authoritarian regimes, with a regional focus on East and Southeast Asia. She is particularly interested in studying how autocrats design electoral institutions to tilt playing fields, including through the strategic use of gerrymandering and malapportionment.
