Professor Stevens conducts research on political theories and practices of membership since antiquity. Her current studies focus on deportation law enforcement, engaging with European fantasies from the 12th to 17th centuries and examining quotidian government documents that reveal contemporary illegalities and practices leading to the unlawful deportation of United States citizens. Her research on deportations is the basis for successful lawsuits challenging government misconduct. Professor Stevens' work has appeared in notable publications including Political Theory, American Political Science Review, and Journal of Political Philosophy. She established the Deportation Research Clinic, aimed at supervising undergraduate and graduate students interested in scholarship and forensic intelligence while advancing knowledge in public forums. The clinic has filed hundreds of Freedom of Information Act requests and successfully litigated thirty requests in federal court. Stevens received her PhD in political science from the University of California at Berkeley in 1993 and graduated Phi Beta Kappa with highest honors from Smith College. She was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for the 2013-2014 academic year.
