Medieval History
Final congratulations of 2012
Hoping that all our readers are enjoying the holiday season, here's a final round-up of good news from the ASNC department:
Dr Rory Naismith, Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in ASNC, has been awarded the 2012 Jan H. Nordbø scholarship and medal by the Norwegian Numismatic Society. This prestigious award exists to bring foreign scholars of numismatics to give a lecture in Norway. On 30 October, Dr Naismith lectured to the Norwegian Numismatic Society in Oslo on the subject of ?Gold Coinage and the Fall of the Western Roman Empire?, and received the medal accompanying the scholarship. He also delivered a lecture the following day at the Museum of Cultural History in the University of Oslo, on ?The Agnus Dei Coinage of Æthelred II?.
The Research Centre of St John?s College Oxford has awarded pump-priming funding for the initial stages of an international research project, ?Interpreting Eddic Poetry?, to Dr Carolyne Larrington (Oxford) and ASNC's Dr Judy Quinn (Principal Investigators). The project will support an interdisciplinary research network which will convene for its first Workshop ?Interpreting Eddic Poetry: Interdisciplinary Perspectives? in Oxford in July 2013. Details of the programme and registration arrangements will be announced shortly.
Funding has been awarded to Dr Judy Quinn and ASNC alumna Dr Debbie Potts from the pilot AHRC Cultural Engagement Fund to support the projects ?Kennings in the Community? and ?Modern Poets on Viking Poetry?. Dr Potts will be based in the Department for three months from February to April 2013 to develop the projects and organise events related to them.
Congratulations to all of them, and best wishes to all of you for the New Year ...
