We’re delighted to announce that Professor Rosalind Love has been elected as one of the new Fellows at the British Academy.

Professor Rosalind Love is a Fellow at Robinson College, Elrington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon and the Head of Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic Department where she researches in and teaches Medieval Latin.

“As a grateful recipient of one its Postdoctoral Fellowships, I have always revered the British Academy and am deeply humbled by this honour. It shows that the Academy values the teaching of Medieval Latin, and research in that area, at a time when the subject faces cuts elsewhere. I’d like to express sincerest gratitude to the teachers who gave me a solid grounding and to all who have supported me over the years: they made this possible. I look forward to working with other FBAs to shape the future of the Humanities”.

Welcoming the new Fellows for 2024, President of the British Academy Professor Julia Black said:
“We are delighted to welcome this year’s cohort of Fellows, and I offer my warmest congratulations to each and every one. Since the Academy was created in 1902, our Fellows have been the lifeblood of the organisation, representing the very best of our disciplines – and we would not have the impact we have without their expertise, time and energy. I very much look forward to working closely with our new Fellows; the breadth and depth of their expertise adds so much to the Academy.”
