ATLANTA—Dr. Carrie Manning, professor of political science, has been appointed as the new Associate Provost for International Initiatives at Georgia State.
Manning was appointed to the role in an interim capacity last March and has provided strong, continued leadership of the university’s Office of International Initiatives (OII).
As interim, Manning has provided oversight over several divisions within the unit, including International Partnerships and Agreements, special programs, study abroad, communications and the Virtual Exchange Initiative.
She served as chair of the Department of Political Science from 2011 to 2017 and as Senior Faculty Associate for Faculty Advancement in the College of Arts & Sciences from 2019 through 2020.
She is the author of several books and numerous journal articles. Her work on comparative democratization and post-conflict politics has been published in such journals as Comparative Politics, Journal of Democracy, Party Politics, Studies in Comparative International Development and Democratization, among others.
She has also served as a visiting professor at the University of Strasbourg, France, and has provided expert assessment about political conflict and settlement in Mozambique.
“International education opportunities for all students are an important element of our vision for the next phase of student success, and we seek to prepare students for their careers in an interconnected, global economy and society,” said Nicolle Parsons-Pollard, Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. “With these ambitions in sight, Dr. Manning will continue to be a critical part of our leadership team. I am confident that with her at the helm, we will go even further with the internationalization of the university.”
