<p>Does anyone know if she is still teaching undergraduate classes at IU? If she does, what classes does she teach?</p>
<p>Woohoo, we won the nobel prize!!! Unfortunately, she only teaches one class a semester, and it is a graduate class for SPEA majors.</p>
<p>As a UCLA alumnus who lives in the Bay Area, I need to point out that Elinor Ostrom graduated from UCLA (receiving her Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate there) and that she is sharing the Nobel Prize in Economics with Oliver Williamson, who currently teaches at UC Berkeley. Okay–enough with trying to steal IU-B’s thunder–so back to the great news for Indiana U.</p>
<p>P.S. Elinor is the first woman to ever receive the Nobel Prize in Economics. She currently teaches in the Political Science department at Indiana University at Bloomington.</p>
<p>Here’s the IU-B announcement today:</p>
<p>[Elinor</a> Ostrom, Indiana University faculty member, wins Nobel Prize for Economics: IU News Room: Indiana University](<a href=“Elinor Ostrom, Indiana University faculty member, wins Nobel Prize for Economics: IU News Room: Indiana University”>Elinor Ostrom, Indiana University faculty member, wins Nobel Prize for Economics: IU News Room: Indiana University)</p>
<p>and here’s a fairly interesting discussion of the applicability of her work in Britain’s largest newspaper–The Guardian:</p>

<p>I’m guessing that her class, SPEA V-691 Workshop on Public Policy, will be very popular next semester and that the 12 available spots in the class will go quickly.</p>
