Shaheen's bio describes her as an "economist and activist", which straight away indicates that she's not really an economist: activism and applying a uncompromising, objective view to something like economics, as an economist should do - likewise a scientist, engineer, mathematician and so on in their disciplines - is like chalk and cheese. Activism shouldn't come into it, just the bare objective facts, backed up by data; if you're an activist then you're failing in your professed area of expertise.
