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.

Much of her previous work focused on labor and industrial management. Her recent work includes a book, Privatizing Poland:Baby Food, Big Business and the Remaking of Labor (Cornell University Press, 2004).

Professor Dunn serves on the Boulder County Board of Health and as a foster parent for Boulder County.
