Karen Jolly, Gale Owen-Crocker, Bill Schipper, and Jane Toswell are soliciting donations this season in memory of Sarah Larratt Keefer, who died earlier this year.  Many of us remember Sarah as a cheerful and engaging presence at conferences, a generous colleague who co-organized a series of conferences and publications on the cross in early medieval England, an editor and investigator of tricky liturgical questions, editor of a lovely edition of the Kentish Psalm and much more.  We talked horses and dogs with her, or about the future of the field.  Her supervisor at Toronto was Angus Cameron, founder of the Dictionary of Old English, and the project was close to her heart throughout her life.

Our stretch aim is to name one of the graduate or undergraduate studentships in Sarah's honour, which would require $100,000 (in Canadian dollars) for a permanent endowment, $50,000 for a five-year expendable studentship.

Here is the link for donating to the Dictionary of Old English; make sure you do specify your donation in honour of Sarah.  The Canadian dollar is pretty low these days, today at 0.71USD, so you should be able to specify an amount in Canadian dollars that will seem pretty easy in your own currency!

Less well-known internationally is that Sarah was also an award-winning teacher both at her home, Trent University, and in OCUFA, the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations.  Some of us have encountered her enthusiastic former students, true lovers of the medieval.  If we are unable to summit that peak, we will at least give the Dictionary some funds as it continues its good work on the lexicography of Old English.

The Medieval and Early Modern Studies Research Group (MSRG) at the University of Lincoln is pleased to announce that we are currently accepting applications to our 

MA Medieval Studies Programme for 2026-2027

You can join us at the online Open House Event on 26th November 6-7pm (UK time).
