and Conflict Resolution Quarterly,
among several others. She has several award-winning articles, including:
“Addressing the Citizenship and Democratic Deficits: Exploring the Potential of
Deliberative Democracy for Public Administration,” which won the 2010 Best

Public Administration; “Evaluating the Productivity of Collaborative
Governance Regimes: A Performance Matrix”, which won the 2015 best article

In

the lead editor of Democracy in Motion:
Evaluating the Practice and Impact of Deliberative Civic Engagement (Oxford

Before

Indiana Conflict Resolution Institute at Indiana University-Bloomington, where
she was responsible for the design, implementation, analysis, and publication
of various research projects. In this capacity, she provided consultations
about, and evaluations of, alternative dispute resolution in several U.S.
federal agencies, including the Department of Justice, the Postal Service, the
National Institutes of Health, the Department of Agriculture, and the U.S.
