Notre Dame announces first chair in Byzantine Studies
The University of Notre Dame has established an endowed chair in Byzantine Theology. The position, which will focus on the theology of the medieval Greek-speaking church, will be named in honor of Archbishop Demetrios Trakatellis, primate of the Greek Orthodox Church of America.
The Archbishop Demetrios Professorship in Byzantine Theology is a central component of the University?s efforts to expand the scope of its renowned Medieval Institute ? which was the first of its kind in the United States ? to include teaching and research on the Eastern Roman Empire. The chairholder will be a member of the Department of Theology, as well as of the Medieval Institute. The Department, which includes more than 50 full-time faculty members, is known throughout the English-speaking world for its strength in a variety of fields, especially patristic and medieval theology.
