Averil Cameron

Dear all,
The OUBS Committee is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Professor Dame Averil Cameron.
There are few scholars who have inspired as many as Averil Cameron. Her pioneering scholarship on Late Antiquity, especially its major literary figures and cultures, represents not only an enormous contribution to the field, but a transformational force in its very creation.
As students of Late Antiquity and Byzantium, each of us has been influenced by some aspect of Averil Cameron’s scholarship. We are certain this sentiment is felt widely by our peers, and that her impact will continue to be felt by generations of students after us.
Our thoughts and condolences are with those who knew Averil, her family, friends, colleagues, and students at this time.
