Women Scholars of Orthodox Christianity

The Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University is delighted to present the second episode of its webinar series highlighting the scholarly insights and academic careers of female scholars whose research and writing explore some facet of the history, thought, or culture of Orthodox Christianity. The broadcast will be livestreamed and open to all who have pre-registered. The event will include some time for live audience questions. For those who miss the live event, the Center will archive each episode on its website and YouTube channel.

This episode features an interview with Nadieszda Kizenko, Ph.D., professor of history at the State University of New York at Albany. Kizenko specializes in Russian history with a focus on religion and culture. Her work has explored topics such as the history of Orthodox Christianity, saints’ lives as a historical source, lived religion, political liturgy, women’s written confessions, and depictions of religion in film. She will be interviewed by Aristotle Papanikolaou, co-director of the center.

Orthodox Christian Studies Center events are free.
