Frances Hasso is a professor in the Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies Department at Duke University. I have written about her before, here and here.

Introducing the Students Who Invaded Columbia’s Library

The intrepid students who with their bodies themselves spoke truth to power by invading and taking over Columbia’s library building, are an impressive bunch.
