Dr. Ann L. Phillips was professor of International Relations and Comparative Politics from 1986 until 2000, first at Smith College in Northampton, MA and then at American University in Washington, D.C. During that time she also held guest professorships at the University of Rostock in Rostock, Germany and the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, Germany. Her research, writing and teaching focused on system reform and then system transitions in Central-East Europe and the (former) Soviet Union. During her academic career she was awarded research fellowships from the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, the German Academic Exchange Council (DAAD), the Volkswagen and Ford Foundations. She earned a Ph.D. from Georgetown University and an M.A. from the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, The Johns Hopkins University.

From September 2000 until September 2007, Dr. Phillips worked for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) where she was Senior Political Economist in the Policy and Program Coordination Bureau in Washington, DC. In that position, she helped rewrite USAID’s overall foreign assistance strategy and develop agency policies and strategies on fragile states, stabilization and reconstruction, and promotion of good governance. From June 2006-September 2007, Dr. Phillips was detailed to the Office of the Director of Foreign Assistance (DFA) at the U.S. Department of State where she served as Senior Policy Analyst and leader of inter-agency assistance teams for over twenty countries in Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Eurasia. She received numerous awards from USAID and the DFA for inter-agency leadership and foreign aid reform.
