Bill North, Associate Professor of History, was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Teaching Development Fellowship to revise an intermediate-level history course, “Cultures of Empire: Byzantium, 711-1453.” The $21,000 Fellowship will allow him to read recent scholarship, conduct archival research, translate primary sources, and travel to key sites in support of adding new course content in artistic and architectural dimensions of Byzantine culture, and in encounters between Byzantium and its Latin and Muslim neighbors.
