Liz received her BA in Urban Studies from the University of Pennsylvania; her M.Div. from Union Theological Seminary in 2004 where she was the first William Sloane Coffin Scholar; and her Ph.D. from Union in New Testament and Christian Origins. She has been published in Time Magazine, The Guardian, Sojourners, The Nation, The Christian Century, and others. In 2018, she gave “Building a Moral Movement” TEDtalk at TEDWomen. She was named one of the Politico 50 of “thinkers, doers and visionaries whose ideas are driving politics,” one of 11 Women Shaping the Church by Sojourners, the Women of Spirit recipient from the Presbyterian Church (USA), Selma “Bridge” Award recipient in 2018. Liz is the author of "Always with Us?: What Jesus Really Said about the Poor" (Eerdmans, 2017). She is co-author of "Revive Us Again: Vision and Action in Moral Organizing" (Beacon, 2018).
