Elizabeth Dunn,
Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University, 1998
, is Assistant Professor of Geography
and International Affairs. Her work focuses on the economic origins and
effects of foodborne illness. Recently, she has been investigating how new
rules about cattle production affect farmers, meatpackers, consumers and the
environment. She has also looked into how rules about pig production have
forced smallhold farmers out of the market in Poland, and how the collapse of
the canning industry in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia has led to
hyperendemic botulism.
