Shadia B. Drury FRSC (born 1950) is a Canadian academic and political commentator.
[1] Drury has taught Political Science and Philosophy at the University of Calgary and at the University of Regina, where she holds the Canada Research Chair in Social Justice.
[2] Two years later, she published "Aquinas and Modernity: The Lost Promise of Natural Law" through the Cambridge University Press.
[4] Several political philosophers consider Drury's attacks on Leo Strauss and his followers to be unfounded.
In his 2009 book, Straussophobia: Defending Leo Strauss and Straussians against Shadia Drury and Other Accusers, Peter Minowitz argues that Drury’s work is “plagued by exaggerations, misquotations, contradictions, factual errors, and defective documentation.”[5]
