Jacqueline Sirovina
International Relations

Jackie is a doctoral dissertator and lecturer in Political Science at the UW-Milwaukee, Marquette University, and Ripon College. She studies international relations and comparative politics and teaches courses on international relations.
Jackie’s dissertation focuses on the intersection of ethnicity, conflict, and refugees. With the development of a new dataset on refugees’ majority or minority ethnic status in a country of asylum, she looks to unravel how one’s ethnic identity can influence the production, flow, and treatment of refugees fleeing conflict.
In 2019, Jackie earned her Master’s degree in Political Science at UW-Milwaukee with her thesis focusing on Chinese foreign aid and corruption. Jackie also received her Bachelor degrees in 2016, summa cum laude, from UW-Milwaukee in Political Science and Global Studies, with a minor in Geography and two certificates in Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution and Russian and Eastern European Studies.
Overall, Jackie’s research interests center on ethnic conflict, migration politics, nationalism, political violence, politics of developing nations, foreign aid, and corruption.
