Alise Coen
Dr. Coen is currently Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Her book, Reconfiguring Refugees (NYU Press, 2024), grapples with the logics underpinning U.S. refugee policy in the wake of the Syrian conflict. Drawing on samples of discourse collected between 2015-2022, it shows how U.S. political leaders, elected officials, and civil society groups embed refugees within racial hierarchies, gendered binaries, and partisan identities in ways that constrain refugee policy debates and influence possibilities of bipartisan support.
Dr. Coen received her Ph.D. in Political Science and International Relations from the University of Delaware. She received her B.A. in International Relations from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University.
Before joining the UW System, she previously taught at the University of Connecticut and at Emory & Henry College. While earning her doctorate, Dr. Coen conducted field research in Egypt and worked with the U.S. State Department's Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) Student Leaders Program.
