She initiated a Greenhaven Press book series for young people, Critical Thinking about Environmental Issues and was an author of two books in the series.
In recent years, her writing has been primarily about higher education. Recently she explored the question of whether education is a public good in an article in the Independent Review and discussed the college bubble in Academic Questions.

Gov. Pat McCrory was caught a bit off guard when he discussed higher education on Bill Bennett's radio show Tuesday. Some people are saying McCrory made a gaffe (or, less politely "stepped into it.")
