Professor Sean Field recently presented some of his work at the annual meeting of the Medieval Academy of America, held at the University of Notre Dame 12-14 March 2015. But for Professor Field the highlight of the meeting was the fact that three of his former honors students, now all completing or having completed doctorates in various areas of medieval studies, were also in attendance. Christopher Miller graduated from UVM with honors in 2008, earned his M.Litt at Oxford, and now is about to defend his doctoral dissertation in medieval (German) studies at the University of Toronto. Richard Fahey also graduated with honors in 2008, then earned his M.A. at the University of Toronto, and now is in the doctoral program in medieval English at Notre Dame. Justine Trombley finished her undergraduate degree with honors in 2009, then earned her M.Litt and in 2015 her Ph.D. in medieval history from the University of St. Andrews. Professor Field reports that he was in some danger of bursting with pride.
