Elizabeth Van Wie Davis began college earlier than most,
enrolling at the Mt. Carroll, Illinois-based Shimer College at the age of
sixteen. A dedicated and brilliant student, Dr. Davis would follow up her
Shimer College tenure by earning a Master’s and Doctorate degree in Foreign
Affairs at the University of Virginia.
This provided the academic foundation for Davis’ breadth of
expertise in Asian politics, energy and religion as well as in security issues,
notably cybersecurity.
In addition to her studies, Elizabeth Van Wie Davis spent time
living in China. When combined not only with her education, but also with her
extensive travel throughout Asia, and the considerable amount of one-on-one
work she engaged in with political figures from such countries as the US, China,
Pakistan, and Bangladesh throughout her career, Dr. Davis has acquired a
significant base of knowledge and hands-on experience from which to draw
educated, well-supported conclusions as to the intricacies of Asian culture and
politics.
