The Byzantine Studies Research Center of Bogazici University is pleased to announce the organization of its fourth seminar, titled “Entangling Byzantium: An Introduction to Historical Network Analysis,” conducted by Johannes Preiser-Kapeller (Institute for Medieval Research/Department of Byzantine Research, Austrian Academy of Sciences), to be held ONLINE on 10 May 2024.
This seminar will provide both an overview of basic concepts of network theory and their application in historical and archaeological research (with a focus on the study of Late Antiquity and Byzantium) as well as an introduction into software tools and practical network analysis. The aim of this one-day-long workshop is to enable students to critically evaluate the growing number of studies using network analysis as well as to apply these tools themselves in a well-reflected and productive way.
The seminar is free of charge and will be held in English. Enrollment is limited to 20. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance after the completion of the program.
Candidates should send by e-mail a short statement of purpose indicating the relevance of this program for their studies/career and providing information on their educational background and level of English.
The deadline for the applications is 19 April 2024.
Applications should be sent to [email protected]
