Alumna Anna Siebach Larsen (Ph.D. '17) receives 2023 Messenger Award from the University of Rochester

The Medieval Institute is delighted to share that Anna Siebach Larsen (Ph.D. '17) has received the 2023 Martin E. Messinger Libraries Recognition Award from the University of Rochester. Her colleagues note, "Since 2017, Siebach-Larsen has had a transformative effect on the River Campus Libraries and the daily experiences of students, faculty, and staff."

She wrote her dissertation, "‘For in the boke of God is no such matter’: Visual Epistemologies and Vernacular Reading Culture in Thirteenth-Century England,” here under the direction of Professor Emerita Kathryn Kerby-Fulton, and gained special training in library work with Medieval Studies Librarian Dr. Julia Schneider. We are not at all surprised, and very much delighted, to see Dr. Siebach Larsen's expertise and dedication recognized with this award.
