Lisa Schur, Ph.D., teaches employment and labor law. Her research focuses on disability, employment, and political participation.
In a project funded by several grants, she helped design and conduct two national surveys of political participation among people with disabilities in 1998 and 2000. One of the articles resulting from this research, on disability and voter turnout, won an award from the Western Political Science Association.
She has also researched and published on the causes and consequences of non-standard work arrangements among people with disabilities, corporate culture and the employment of people with disabilities, and the effect of Supreme Court decisions interpreting the ADA. Her Ph.D. dissertation was supported by an Ed Roberts Fellowship from the World Institute on Disability.
