Biography


Biography

My research focuses on ethnicity, religious identity, race, and other conceptions of difference in Byzantium. I am particularly interested in the historical anthropology and how conceptions of human difference manifested in state and popular actions.

On the side I am interested in how the European Middle Ages are depicted in modern media and the use of history by political actors.
