In 2013, she was invited to testify before the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, chaired by Senators Tom Harkin and Lamar Alexander.

Grant Foundation’s five-year-long Faculty Scholars program. She was named one of POLITICO's Top 50 thinkers shaping American politics in 2016.
