My favorite line from our CfP: "How has the dominance of classical Greek in the curricula of ‘Western’ universities or the equation of Byzantium with Greek Orthodoxy impacted the way Byzantine history is told and conceptualised?" 2/2

We are an international community of #PhDs @univienna & some of our fellows are from Turkey or Syria. We reached out to all of them, to make sure that they are safe, & to ask them whether they need support. Most of them are ok considering these dreadful circumstances 🧵(1/9)
