We are pleased to announce a new seminar series. We invite you to attend the upcoming seminar.

THIS PROJECT INVESTIGATES THE HISTORY AND CULTURE OF THE BLACK SEA DURING THE MIDDLE AGES

The Medieval Black Sea Project integrates research on the multiple histories that came to intersect in this basin between the 4th and the 15th centuries. We explore essential questions about the character of the region, its geopolitical and cultural unity and diversity, and its significance to the broader development of the Mediterranean, Europe, and Asia.
