Citation counts are low, and she's still an assistant professor after nearly 25 years as an academic. I think it's clear that she ''is'' a serious academic (from the publications discussed above by DGG and Hullaballoo Wolfowitz), but it just doesn't seem that her peers consider her stature very high. I hesitate to purely use gradations of academic status to judge somebody's contributions to the field, but in the absence of major citation records, that's all we really have to go on here - most tenured professors have contributed chapters, articles, or sections to books and compilations by major university presses - that's an indicator of a serious academic with real contributions, to be sure, but not so much a cut above the rest as to pass
