(VIRTUAL) Third Annual Byzantine Postdoctoral Fellowship Workshop, "Memory and Cognition in Byzantium"
As part of its Byzantine Studies Postdoctoral Fellowship, the Medieval Institute offers a workshop with each Fellow, organized within the framework of the Byzantine Studies Seminar and treating the fellow’s subject matter. Senior scholars, chosen in cooperation with the Medieval Institute, are invited for this event and will discuss draft versions of the Fellow’s book manuscript or articles or discuss the further development of ongoing research projects. This event is the rescheduled spring workshop, which was postponed as part of Notre Dame's response to coronavirus.
