摘要
Lisa Fe ' Saunders于1987年在Old Dominion University获得工商管理学士学位,并在加州大学伯克利分校获得经济学博士学位。她加入了马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校经济系,在那里她被提升为终身副教授,并一直留任到2021年退休,成为名誉教授。她还曾在明尼苏达大学和伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校访问。丽莎为如何利用研究和教学使经济学成为一门更好、更包容的学科、使世界更公正树立了一个杰出的榜样。她致力于学生,教授妇女政治经济学和种族主义政治经济学的课程,这激励了一些学生成为经济学家,并鼓励所有学生对经济学和经济进行更批判性的思考。她还教授劳动、微观经济学、经济学研究方法和写作方面的课程。她为所有学生设定了高标准,尤其喜欢与荣誉项目的学生一起工作。她总是对讨论教育学感兴趣,并愿意就教学问题向同事提供建议。她办公室的墙上挂着一块牌子,上面写着“什么都不要假设”,提醒她的学生和她自己对他人保持开放的心态。她鼓励她的学生练习“向前一步,后退一步”:如果他们在课堂上沉默,就大声说出来,如果他们已经做出了贡献,就给别人一个发言的机会。她还通过大众经济学中心(Center for Popular Economics)接触到更广泛的社区,在那里她向活动人士、教育工作者、媒体制作人和其他人授课。她于1988-1989年入选礼来捐赠教学研究员计划,并于2018-2019年获得包容性,多样性和公平性教学(TIDE)教师奖学金奖。
