Greek and Byzantine Studies

Research in Greek and Byzantine Studies is concerned with the ancient languages, texts, and cultures of the Eastern Mediterranean.

The research in Greek and Byzantine Studies focuses on the following areas:

Comparative and diachronic narratology and translation studies: analyzing and interpreting the structures and meanings of narratives across time and cultures.
Historical research on emotions and philosophical psychology: the history of emotions (changes in concepts and norms involving emotional display and behaviour across time and place) and research on ancient philosophical theories about the nature and moral psychology of emotions.
Digital methods for the study of pre-modern cultures. The focus is primarily on digital philology, but also on the interdisciplinary integration of textual scholarship with research in archaeology, cultural geography, genetics, and other fields using digital methods.
