It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my dear friend, colleague and co-author of the Simone Weil Bibliography, Debra Jensen. Debra passed away on Sunday July 15, 2012. Debra was a longtime religious studies faculty member at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta. We first met when Debra as a University of Calgary graduate student approached me for research assistance for her thesis work on Simone Weil. While assisting Debra, I noted the difficulty in locating material and suggested that one day it would be good to work together in creating an updated bibliography of works on Simone Weil. Years later in 2006, we finally began the project and the Simone Weil Bibliography posted online in 2011 is a enduring testament to Debra's scholarship on Weil and her dedication to enhancing access to Weilian research.
I shall miss Debra very much and dedicate my continuing work on the bibliography to her memory.
Debra Jensen and I have worked together on the compilation of an international bibliography of critical works on Simone Weil. Currently over 5,000 titles are listed online as Simone Weil Bibliography (https://simoneweil.library.ucalgary.ca/) . With Debra's untimely death in July 2012, the English language material will no longer be annotated, but I will continue to post updates to the bibliography and to this blog.
