Late Antique and Byzantine Studies

Welcome to the University of Chicago's Workshop on Late Antiquity and Byzantium!

The aim of our workshop is to bring together faculty and graduate students from the University of Chicago and the wider Chicago area in an effort to create scholarly dialogue and to foster exchange of ideas. The Workshop has as its focus the Eastern Mediterranean World from 330 - 1453 CE, as approached from a variety of viewpoints, including Late Rome, Byzantium, Early Islam, Slavic Studies, Crusader Periods, and Eastern Church Studies. We sponsor approximately four to five graduate student and faculty speakers each quarter, as well as invited guest lecturers.

The Late Antiquity and Byzantium Workshop is calling for papers for its 2008-2009 calendar. Submissions from graduate students with dissertation chapters or proposals are encouraged. Those who would like to present should contact Daniel Larison (larisond@uchicago.edu).
