She is an associate editor of Higher Education Research and Development. Lisa has published in Comparative Education Review, the Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, and Higher Education Policy, among other outlets. Her dissertation, which examined how university equal opportunity plans construct “diversity” and facilitate the support of migrant and refugee students in the German case, was supported by the Ruth Landes Memorial Research Fund.
