Tanisha M. Fazal is professor of political science at the University of Minnesota. Her current research analyzes how improvements in medical care in conflict zones affect the long-term costs of war. She is the author of two award-winning books: State Death: The Politics and Geography of Conquest, Occupation, and Annexation and Wars of Law: Unintended Consequences in the Regulation of Armed Conflict. In addition to her numerous publications in major academic journals spanning several disciplines, Fazal is a frequent public commentator on international security issues. She has been a fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University, the John M. Olin Institute for Strategic Studies, and the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs.

Her project, “Military Medicine and the Hidden Costs of War,” investigates how dramatic improvements in military medicine, alongside expansion of veterans’ benefits, have increased the long-term costs of war for the U.S. today.
