Imbalance

Summary Elizabeth Drewer is an esteemed professor of philosophy whose principles of logic and rationality have always guided her. As the #Me Too movement comes to her university, a lawsuit against the administration for ignoring the actions of a highly predatory professor, causes administrators to hand down stricter rules about relations between professors and students, even when consensual. Elizabeth supports these rules because she believes that the power imbalance between professors and students should always prohibit any form of intimacy or social interaction. But the arrival of Elizabeth's new teaching assistant, Richard Amado, shakes up her world (and her certainty about it). When he professes his attraction for her, her own growing attraction severely tests her codes of conduct. Does she allow passion to lead her into behavior she considers unethical and hypocritical? Does she hold on to her ideals? It is this struggle between heart and mind, in an atmosphere where professor/student relations are particularly complicated and controversial, that takes Elizabeth from a place of certain moral superiority to an encounter with her own weaknesses, and thus her own humanity.
