Women Scholars of Orthodox Christianity

The Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University is delighted to introduce a new webinar series that will highlight 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. Each episode will be conducted as an interview by one of the center’s co-directors. The broadcasts will be livestreamed and open to all who have pre-registered. Each interview 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 page.

This particular one will feature Susan Ashbrook Harvey, Ph.D,, the Willard Prescott and Annie McClelland Smith Professor of history and religion at Brown University. Harvey specializes in late antique and Byzantine Christianity, with Syriac studies as her particular focus. She has published widely on topics relating to asceticism, hagiography, women and gender, hymnography, homiletics, and piety in late antique Christianity.

Orthodox Christian Studies Center events are free and open to the public.
