    Good afternoon!

    I am writing to invite anyone with interest in Canadian Byzantine matters to consider becoming a member of the Canadian Committee of Byzantinists.

    I am writing as the Secretary- Treasurer of the organization to invite people to join our group so that we can reach as many scholars and students of Byzantium as possible. With your membership, you will receive a copy of CANADIO-BYZANTINA, our newsletter,  which provides an accounting of news and anything else our members wish to share in the Byzantine sphere. If you do decide to join us, and have Byzantine news, you can send any content to Geoffrey Greatrex greatrex@uottawa.ca as soon as possible.  We try to get the newsletter out soon in the new year.

    Annual dues are due,  which enable us to belong to the Association Internationale and support initiatives like the annual undergraduate essay prize. Full membership costs $30, student membership $15 – a bargain! 

    The preferred method of payment is through e-transfer by Interac on autodeposit. Please use your online banking service and my email address – marica.cassis@ucalgary.ca - to send your membership fee. You will see The Canadian Committee of Byzantinists as the recipient (not me personally!). 

    If you don’t do or like online banking, you may continue to send a cheque payable to 'The Canadian Committee of Byzantinists' to me at the address below when the strike is over:

    Dr. Marica Cassis

    Department of History

    University of Calgary

    SS 608, 527 Campus Place NW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2N 1N4

    I would be grateful if I could receive your transfers or cheques no later than December 20. 

    And please encourage  anyone you know who is associated with the field – especially grad students – to join the organization. I’m available for any questions or queries, so feel free to forward my email.

    Thanks in advance,

    Marica Cassis

    Secretary-Treasurer, Canadian Committee of Byzantinists

    We are now accepting applications for our 2025–26 Mellon, Byzantine, and Public Humanities fellowships. The application deadline for all three is February 1, 2025. I'd be grateful if you'd spread the word among your students, colleagues, and networks:

    • Our Mellon Junior Faculty Fellowship in medieval studies allows a junior faculty member from a North American institution to spend a year at Notre Dame working on their own research (generally, a tenure book).
    • Our Byzantine Postdoctoral Fellowship allows its holder to do innovative research drawing on the rich resources held in the Milton V. Anastos Collection, the Medieval Institute, and the Hesburgh Library more broadly.
    • Our Public Humanities Postdoctoral Fellowship works closely with the Institute’s staff on outreach and engagement efforts, public humanities marketing, and institute communications and also spends time on their own research and/or teaching.

    All information is available on our Grants & Fellowships page (and linked above individually).
