Faculty Mentor: Dr. Jessica Gottlieb joined the Bush School after earning her PhD in political science at Stanford University. She also holds a master’s degree in economics from Stanford University. While at Stanford, Gottlieb received the Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship and was a pre-doctoral fellow at the Center for Democracy Development and the Rule of Law. Her work falls into three themes: information asymmetries and voter coordination, informal institutions and clientelism, and the political implications of unequal gender norms. She has conducted field experiments, behavioral games, and surveys in Africa. She has published articles in the American Journal of Political Science, World Politics, British Journal of Political Science, Quarterly Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, and World Development. Team Leader: I am Andrea Talero, a master of international affairs candidate at the Bush School at Texas A&M University with three years of experience working at both strategic and risk departments of a commercial bank in Colombia. I have an advanced understanding of quantitative methods, econometrics and statistics applied to project monitoring and evaluation (M&E). I am bilingual in Spanish and English, and reading proficient in French.
