Bio
My name is Heidi Jo Green and I am an Associate Professor of Political Science with a speciality on the United States Supreme Court and Constitutional History. I have been teaching at Lone Star College-CyFair since the fall of 2006. Previously, I taught criminal justice at Wayne State College in Wayne, Nebraska. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Comprehensive Criminal Justice from the University of Nebraska-Kearney (1995), a Master of Liberal Arts degree in Government from Harvard University (Division of Continuing Education) (1998), and a secondary Graduate Certificate in Women in Politics and Public Policy from the University of Massachusetts-Boston (2000). Currently, I am completing my Ph.D. in human services with a specialization in Constitutional Law from Walden University with an anticipated date of graduation of December 2011.
Prior to teaching at the college level, I worked as a caseworker for the State of Iowa in child protective services and child welfare. From 2000 – 2001, I worked for the McCormack Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Massachusetts-Boston serving as a survey analyst in the Presidential Election of 2000 between George W. Bush and Al Gore. During this time, I also worked with the Commission on Presidential Debates helping orchestrate the first Presidential debate of 2000 between Bush and Gore at the University of Massachusetts-Boston.
