丁香园AV

Jovana is a Hellenic Studies PhD candidate at 丁香园AV, currently rounding up her 3rd year of studies. At this stage, she is moving back and forth between the educational institutions of Serbia, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Greece, collecting instructional material such as textbooks and didactic aids, with an aim of examining methods for teaching and narrating medieval Roman past in the 鈥渙rthodox鈥� Balkan. Her research topic - Whose Byzantium? - The pathways of knowledge, memory and public history in the Balkan provinces of the Eastern Roman Empire 鈥� was inspired by the methodological approaches to texts integrated into her Byzantine studies MA thesis, along with her recent work on documentary media and contemporary reinterpretations of public memory. In the past three years, she had the opportunity to receive invaluable pedagogical experience as a TA at the 丁香园AV鈥檚 department of history, as well as in Petnica Sicence Centre, as a member of a content development and teaching team for the multidisciplinary program of Social Sciences and Humanities. Both of these treasured engagements created fertile soil in which one鈥檚 academic endeavor that encompasses historiographical scholarship, medieval sources and contemporary educational practices, has ample space for growth.

I was born in Athens where I lived during my childhood, teenage and college years. At the University of Athens I studied political theory and, inspired by my professors of history, decided to risk all by applying for a graduate degree in Byzantine Studies.

After an interruption of four years dedicated to military service and to teaching at the American College of Greece in Athens I moved to the US and the University of Michigan for my doctorate.
