It is with the greatest sadness that AARHMS notes the passing of Olivia Remie Constable on 16 April 2014, in South Bend, Indiana.  Remie was Professor of History and Director of the Medieval Institute at the University of Notre Dame.  As AARHMS members are well aware, she was a key figure in making the Arabic-speaking Mediterranean central to medieval studies.  She was a warm-hearted supporter of younger scholars in our field and a treasured colleague to many of us.  Funeral arrangements are private; a public memorial service is being planned, and we will post details when they are available.
