Really? Well good for her.

... is the Arthur F. Bentley Professor of Political Science in the College of Arts and Sciences and a professor in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University Bloomington. She is co-founder and senior research director of the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at IU.

Her liberal contribution only garnered half a prize. The other half went to Oliver Williamson for his conservative contribution.
