Activism

Barlowe is known on campus for championing racial justice, and was the 2017 recipient of the Nakanishi Prize, awarded for her efforts in forcing the resignation of Master Nicholas Christakis after he sent an insensitive email about Halloween costumes. [1]

In an interview about Christakis' email, Barlowe said the Master's words were "not just discomforting and upsetting, but actually really deeply harmful and actually creating a space for violence to happen on campus.”
