New Critical Approaches to Byzantine Gender, University of Oxford, January 24, 2020
The workshop is being organized by the New Critical Approaches to the Byzantine World Network with the aim of exploring new critical approaches to the study of Byzantine gender. The workshop will feature five position papers and a roundtable discussion.
The roundtable discussion will be facilitated digitally by Leonora Neville (University of Wisconsin, Madison). This session will explore the current state of research and critical theory in the study of Byzantine gender, with a view to identifying potential directions of research and critical analysis.
The starting point for discussion will be provided by the intervention into the field made by Neville’s recent book Byzantine Gender. Discussion of the intervention this book seeks to make and several of the central questions that it raises will lead into a wider discussion to be determined by participants.
Registration is not required, but is helpful for the organisers.
