Middle Eastern and Ancient Mediterranean Studies; Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies
Background
Tina Chronopoulos is a British-infused Greco-German transplant whose research and teaching interests range all over the Mediterranean and span more than a millennium, from Greco-Roman antiquity to the medieval period and beyond. Trained by old-school philologists, she enjoys deep dives into libraries and archives, as well as close readings of texts, contexts and medieval manuscripts. In the classroom, she gets excited about speaking in Latin as much as possible and encourages her students to read both the past and the present contextually while wearing the lenses of race, class and gender.
