We will remember her as a most committed member of our community, always volunteering her labour, taking the lead in organizing events, enabling others in carrying out their work. Drue was also an active member of the AESA board providing much-needed energy to the sustenance of our group.
Her accomplished scholarship will live on making possible other crucial conversations. Her life-long activism in multiple causes will inspire the rest of us.
We feel her absence profoundly. We will remember her kindness, humility, sense of humour and her incessant desire to connect with others in their struggles.
Drue Barker, Rest in Peace and Power!
The board of AESA (Anjan Chakrabarti, Christian Chun, Marcus Green, Serap Kayatekin, Daniel Skinner, Joel Wainwright )

In this extraordinary 2019 interview, Drue recounts her early life, her years in the counterculture, what feminism meant to her, and numerous other personal and professional topics.

Drue served on my dissertation committee for six months. During that time, she was instrumental in helping me finalize my prospectus. She was always so kind, devoted, and insightful to all who had the privilege of knowing her. 

Our university community will feel her absence acutely for generations to come. 

For my part, I deeply regret that our mentorship and friendship ended so tragically. I had so many questions, so many things to share with this incredible visionary and beautiful soul. 

As I learn to cope with my grief, I’m extremely grateful to Andrea L’Hommedieu for asking some of the questions that I never got the chance to pose. ]]> 2023-02-04 08:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/charus/g4hwxw5vslbyas0z/wish/2468335263
