Former CSVA member Teva Vidal will be awarded his PhD degree at the 3 pm graduation ceremony on Wednesday, the 11th of December (if you're not in Nottingham you can view it live here: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/academicservices/currentstudents/graduation/index2.aspx). Teva's thesis was on Houses and Domestic Life in the Viking Age and Medieval Period: Material Perspectives from Sagas and Archaeology. During his four years at Nottingham, Teva was a valued member of the CSVA, organising the Ninth Midlands Viking Symposium in 2013, and of the Institute for Medieval Research, organising its 2010 Postgraduate Conference on Constructing and Transmitting Identities in the Medieval World: Textual and Material Perspectives. Teva was also a highly successful and popular teacher on a range of first- and second-year modules in the School of English. We shall miss him, but wish him well in his new life at home in Canada, where he is currently teaching at Carleton University in Ottawa, and will be an invited professor in medieval history at the University of Ottawa in 2014.
