Emily Elia
PhD Candidate - Rice University

Welcome to my website! I am a PhD candidate at Rice University in the Department of Political Science. My current research explores corruption and electoral accountability, primarily in Latin America. In my dissertation, I study how political elites evade electoral accountability and maintain voter support in contexts of corruption.

In other research, I investigate different ways in which elite gender can impact corruption voting. I also study how voters' options within their electoral environments make them more or less likely to engage in electoral accountability.

Please see my About, CV, Current Research, and Dissertation pages for more information about my work.
