Episode 44 - Byzantine IntersectionalityThis week we learned about some fascinating ways to use Byzantine art to draw on women and gender themes in world history courses. We chatted with Dr. Roland Betancourt about his recent book, Byzantine Intersectionality, which highlights the Byzantine perspective on Mary of Egypt, the Virgin Mary, Theodora, rape, consent, eunuchs, gender, sexuality, and much more. You can find his book everywhere.
