Research and career A specialist on Middle Eastern and North African politics, Anderson served as the President of AUC from 2011 to 2016 and as Provost from 2008 to 2010. Prior to joining AUC, Anderson served as the James T. Shotwell Professor of International Relations at Columbia University, the dean of Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs, the chair of the political science department and the director of the Middle East Institute. Previously, she was an assistant professor of government and social studies at Harvard University. Anderson announced her departure from AUC in June 2015. The AUC Board asked her to leave because she removed the two-tier pay scale system that grossly underpaid Egyptian faculty, though they had the same stature as faculty from other countries [1]. Lisa Anderson had an open door policy for students to directly discuss issues with her regarding all aspects of the university and the surrounding political turmoil. Anderson's demeanor was pragmatic, open, and flexible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vouAIJ2rjhE Affiliations Anderson is the former president of the Middle East Studies Association (MESA) and former chair of the board of the Social Science Research Council.
