My research focuses on comparative institutional analyses of water laws, policies, property rights, and compacts in the western US. I am particularly interested in the design and performance of polycentric systems of water governance and how well such systems of water governance adapt to changing environmental, legal, and social circumstances. Journals I have published in include Land Economics, Policy Studies Journal, Publius, and the American Journal of Political Science. I am co-author of two books on western water governance, Common Waters, Diverging Streams: Linking Institutions and Water Management in Arizona, California, and Colorado (with William Blomquist and Tanya Heikkila); and Embracing Watershed Politics (with William Blomquist). I am also the lead editor of Navigating Climate Change Policy: The Opportunities of Federalism (with Kirsten Engel and Sally Rider).

My teaching centers on environmental policy and public policy. I teach both undergraduate and graduate survey courses on environmental policy, an undergraduate course on climate change policy; and a PhD seminar on theories of the policy process.

Lisa M. Sanchez is an assistant professor in the School of Government and Public Policy at the University of Arizona. She holds a master’s degree in American politics and public policy and a doctorate in political science with distinction from the University of New Mexico. She is an alumnus of the APSA Minority Fellows program and the Robert Wood Johnson Center for Health Policy. Her research utilizes quantitative methodologies to root out ethno-racial disparities in American politics, understand how disparities are perpetuated through the American political system, and address how they might be mitigated. As a result, her research spans many specialties within the field of American politics including Congressional politics, public policy (health and immigration), identity politics, state politics, political identity, and political participation. Recent projects analyze the adoption of beneficial immigration policies in the American states, the prevalence of cross-racial linked fate among Americans of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, and the relationship between a rising U.S. Latino population and its electoral impacts within the U.S. Congress.
