Speaking Truth to Power: A Tale of Two Universities
This essay was the last article Drue ever published. It was published online a couple days after she passed away. It compares the experiences of resistance and accommodation by the University of South Carolina (USC) and Boğaziçi University to the imposition of a right-wing head of university by government fiat. It is available on Sage Journals for a limited time, as well as on this site.
