She received Distinguished Scholarship Honors from the AAG in 2021 and its Lifetime Achievement Honor in 2024, a fellowship at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard (2003-4) and the Diane Middlebrook and Carl Djerassi Visiting Professorship in Gender Studies at Cambridge University (2011-12).
