Kristin Sippl is finishing her Ph.D. in the Department of Political Science at Boston University and is currently a Doctoral Research Associate at the Susilo Institute for Ethics in the Global Economy at the Questrom School of Business. Her dissertation explores why global governance organizations target some industries and issues but not others, using the case of non-profit certification organization response to gold mining for the jewelry industry. This project aligns with her broader research interests in private regulation, transnational advocacy, organizational behavior, and institutional analysis in the empirical realms of public health and natural resource management in developing countries. Kristin has taught in the areas of international relations, human rights, and non-state actors. Prior to entering academia, she worked as a Business Analyst for Target Corporation at their headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
