Lisa will be completing her dissertation, “The Legal, Institutional, and Political Factors of Congressional Court-Curbing: The Purpose and Seriousness of Attempts to Constrain the United States Supreme Court,” prior to joining South Dakota State next fall.

This accomplishment follows on the heels of another prestigious recognition. Last year, Lisa was awarded an American Political Science Association Congressional Fellowship. She is currently in Washington, D.C., serving as a fellow in the office of Representative Daniel Lipinski (D-IL-3). Her portfolio includes education, agriculture, government operations, campaign finance reform, and Native American policy.
